05 WCHGT: Wooten Post Office Traditional Cache

WCHGT caches were created as the 2016-2017 Leadership Wayne class project. We decided that we wanted to create a fun, educational, and adventurous way for families and friends to connect to the county in which they live. Therefore, the 50 caches connected to this trail will give you a glimpse of the PAST, PRESENT, and FUTURE of Wayne County.

Some caches are micros, a few can hold a trackable, some are easy finds, and others prove to be quite difficult. All we ask from the Leadership Wayne class is that you enjoy the finds and learn something new about our wonderful county. Upon completion of the entire trail you will be able to collect your GeoCoin at the Wayne County museum after you have recorded your code words on the passport from each of the 50 locations..

Congressman G.K. Butter-field, city officials, family and friends took part in the dedication ceremony in remembrance of the man who contributed so much to Goldsboro through their community service. Wooten served the public school system for years. He was a science teacher, principal of Dillard High School, supervisor of instruction and assistant superintendent. He also taught at Wayne Community College and was selected by former President Lyndon B. Johnson to serve on the White House Commission for Education. The educator was also a county commissioner for 12 years and was the commission's first African-American chairman. He served on the board of trustees for North Carolina A&T University and served in the Army during World War II. Wooten died in 2007 at the age of 82.
