Geocache Description:


A stop along the Freedom Rock® Tour created by artist Ray "Bubba'" Sorenson. This two-stage multi-cache will begin at the Marshall County Freedom Rock memorial located at the Marshalltown American Legion, 1301 S 6th Street.  The memorial is open year round and is handicap accessible.  The final stage will require you to drive to Rose Hill Memorial Gardens less than five miles away. Please READ HINT before leaving Stage 1. At the final stage you will need to enter a slightly wooded area. The final container has ample room for swag and log.  To reward you for your extra effort, additional caches have been placed around the cemetery.

The Freedom Rock® Tour was designed to honor veterans and provide a unique piece of art to each of Iowa's 99 counties.  To date 71 counties are included on the tour.  Learn more at www.thefreedomrock.com.

The Marshall County Freedom Rock honors Marshall County veterans from each war era.  

WWI - First Sergeant Frank Glick; WWII - Admiral Frank Fletcher; Korean War - Private Harry Phipps; Vietnam War - LCpl Darwin Judge; Iraq/Desert Storm - SFC Scott Nicely.
