The 2019 Land Between the Lakes Heritage Geocache Challenge has concluded with all 100 Challenge Coins being given out by May 20th. Thank you to everyone who participated. We urge you to continue to explore our shared Heritage.
This Geocache is placed at the location of Rowena Payne’s Property, at the center of the Carmack Community.
“Carmack may have first been known as Pottertown… The Pottertown settlement was so called because the pottery manufacture and store of J. Frank Bonner were located there. Carmack was named from Carmack Creek nearby and the early settlers professed to believe that Carmack Creek was named for Senator Edward W. Carmack, a U.S. Senator from Tennessee, soon after the turn of the century. The Carmack Post Office was established January 10, 1890 and J. Frank Bonner was the first postmaster. It was discontinued March 31, 1912.”
