The Heart of the Civil War Heritage Area (HCWHA) is an area rich in history, covering portions of Carroll, Frederick and Washington Counties. It is located just below the Mason-Dixon Line, generally viewed as the dividing line between North and South. With one foot in the north, and one foot in the south, the story of the Civil War, its causes, battles, heroes and villains … its very meaning can be told nowhere better than in this part of Maryland.

The mission of the Heart of the Civil War Heritage Area is to promote the stewardship of our historic, cultural, and natural Civil War resources; encourage superior visitor experiences; and stimulate tourism, economic prosperity, and educational development, thereby improving the quality of life in our community for the benefit of both residents and visitors.

The Geotrail will launch at 11am on October 1st with 15 cache locations in Washington, Frederick, and Carroll Counties. A trackable geocoin will be awarded to the first 200 geocaches who complete the trail while supplies last. Join us on October 1st for complete trail details and to get a copy of the passport! Waypoints for two parking garages in Frederick are listed below. There is also metered parking on many of the streets near the Frederick Visitor Center.

Special thanks to the Frederick Visitor Center and members of the Maryland Geocaching Society in helping set up this event and Geotrail.
