This multi cache will bring you to the grounds and cemetery of the Old North Church which is the first organized Baptist church in the state. You will find several grave sites from veterans of the American Revolution, the War of 1812 and the Texas Revolution. The cache focuses on the east cemetery located south of the current church building which dates from 1852. This cemetery is a slave era cemetery with the anglo cemetery located west of the church building. The east cemetery has several unknown grave sites, take a look around at this historical cemetery.
