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 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.


House was built about 1913 is one of the most intact Barber houses in North Carolina. George Franklin Barber was an American architect best known for his residential designs. Barber’s plans were used for houses in all 50 states and in nations as far away as Japan and the Philippines.

The Yelverton house is a two-story, weatherboarded frame dwelling with elements of Queen Anne and Colonial Revival style architecture.

The house was built by Etheldred “Dred” Yelverton and was the fifth generation of Yelvertons in northeast Wayne County.
