Geocache Description:


The historic Central Grove African Methodist cemetery is located along Walker Road heading into Harrow, Ontario. The cemetery itself sits behind the over 100 year old church building. The cemetery is much older than the church. This is another burial ground for the early settlers of the Underground Railroad. 

In 1930, many of the markers were destroyed when the land was plowed over. During your visit here, you will discover that many of the stones are so faded that they cannot be read any longer. The large white cairn here was erected as a monument to memorialize those individuals whose graves have been destroyed. 

This cemetery is still used by the same black families that were buried here over 150 years ago. While placing this cache, I was amazed to see newer markers among the old and faded ones. 

The cache is not at the posted coordinates. You will be given the final coordinates after solving a jigsaw puzzle, found here:

Before setting off to find the cache, I urge you to enjoy a walk through of the grounds. Please be respectful of the area. 

The cache is located nearby, but discretion may be required upon leaving the cemetery. You will be looking for a hidden ammo box container.

Congrats to barnsaw for the FTF
