There used to be another multi cache near this location. Some of the stops are similar and some are new but we wanted to bring you back here. All of the qustions are new.
Elijah Wadsworth, for whom this town was named, fought in the Revolutionary War and later died in Canfield, Ohio, and was not buried in Woodlawn. There are a few other Revolutionary War veterans buried here. This muli-cache will take you to the final resting place of some of them and to some other interesting monuments. The short tour should not take you very long as all of answers can be found in or near the old section of the cemetery. The ground, as in many old cemeteries, is uneven so please watch your step. Caching only from dawn to dusk and please do not go onto private property during your search. Be respectful of your surroundings, the cache is not placed on any graves. Please do not post any logs or pictures containing spoilers to any of the stages. Bring your own pen and no room for trades.
