17 WCHGT: Seven Springs Hotel & Mineral Springs 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.

The Seven Springs Hotel was established after the Civil War by the Whitfield families.  The hotel attracted people from all over the country for the healing mineral water which came from 7 mineral springs on the property.  Read more about the history of the town of Seven Springs:  http://wayne.lostsoulsgenealogy.com/photos/seven.html  http://www.newsargus.com/viewfinder/pages/05_18_03.html
