Geocache Description:

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 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.


This house of worship, affectionately called the "Church on the Hill," overlooks the town from its perch on Highway 55. The hill was occupied by Union soldiers during the Battle of Whitehall in 1862, and the church was built in 1874. After falling into disrepair, the church was renovated in the 1940s and is still in use today. It is the town's most historically significant structure and is so much a part of Seven Springs that it is included prominently in the town's official logo.
