Triumph Over Tragedy Wherigo Cache

This cache has been archived.

CacheSleuth: It saddens me to do this but I’m going to archive this one. There is problems with the wherigo itself and people struggle between Android and iPhones with getting them to work. I am leaving the adventure lab going and highly encourage you to visit that and the Greenwood Rising museum nearby to get an in-depth and phenomenal experience of the Tulsa Race Massacre if you get a chance. Thank you so much to everyone who visited and gave this a favorite point. I genuinely appreciate it.

Geocache Description:

Complete this wherigo to find the final cache location.

I grew up in Oklahoma my entire life. I went to public school where I had good grades and took Oklahoma history as one of my courses. I thought I had a good understanding of major events that happened here in my state. Perhaps I goofed off too much in school or perhaps this dark history was sparsely covered in class. Either way, I can honestly say it was only as an adult that I learned of the tragic events that took place here in Tulsa almost 100 years ago in 1921.

Upon reading an excerpt of the events, I began to dive deeper into the details and that is how this wherigo was born. I was moved by the history and wanted to give a glimpse into the events that unfolded over those short few days in May/June 1921. My hope is the story speaks to you too.


This short wherigo begins in front of the Greenwood Cultural Center and ends a few blocks away at the John Hope Franklin Reconciliation Park. It is tourist friendly and wheelchair accessible. The park is open 7 days a week from 8:00 am to 8:00 pm.

Near the starting coordinates is the Greenwood Cultural Center. While not part of this wherigo, it is highly recommended to visit to see the history of these events in much greater detail than what I can cover here.
