Located in the charming town of Mineral, this attraction nods at the area's mining history as well as the state's Virginia is For Lovers slogan.
The historic town of Mineral is also located in Louisa County. Originally known as Tolersville, this charming town adopted its current name in 1902 from the many mines that supported the local economy. Iron, gold, zinc, lead and pyrite mines were all located in this area. At one time, no fewer than 15 gold mines were located within 2 miles of town. Pyrite is still mined in the county today.
Depending on the day and time of your visit to the cache you may find this area very busy since it is located near a playground and little league baseball field. So stealth may be required. If visiting during the right season you may also get to enjoy a variety of local town events that take place across the street including the Mineral Farmer's Market which is open during season on Saturdays from 10-12 pm.
