Geocache Description:

A walking tour of Smithfield through the Buffalo Greenway Walking and Biking Trail will share information regarding the history of Smithfield. Please take the time to visit the actual locations for more information.


Brochures for the walking tour will be found the ammo can at the 01 BGW – Masonic Lodge cache.

Most of the caches are large green bison tubes hanging at various heights to protect them from flooding that occurs periodically.  A note on the cache page will alert you to a different type of container.

 

14 BGW - Courthouse:

The original portion facing Market Street was built in 1921-1922 on the same site occupied by courthouses since 1797. It replaced a brick courthouse built in 1843 – the headquarters of Union General William T. Sherman April 9-16, 1865. It was here that Union soldiers celebrated the news that General Robert E. Lee had surrendered at Appomattox Court House, Virginia. Architect Harry Barton of Greensboro was hired to design this stately, Neo-classical structure, built by contractor J.W. Stout and Company of Stanford, NC.
