Adjacent to Ed Davis Park, the Ed Davis Learning Center is a former school founded by Charles Steele and built in 1894 for African American students. It is named for Edward B. Davis, pioneering educator and the school principal from 1908 to 1934. Davis added a two-year high school in 1911 and a four-year program in 1924. Today it offers a variety of community programs, from educational to recreational.
The cities of Georgetown, Sadieville and the Georgetown/Scott County Tourism Commission are pleased to announce the opening of the Scott County African American Heritage Geotrail! The geotrail consists of 8 geocaches for everyone regardless of your skill level in geocaching and spotlights African American historic sites rich in history located in the Georgetown/Scott County area.
Passports are available at the event and through the Georgetown Scott County Tourism Office. The passports list the coordinates and significant history of each of the sites. At each site you will need to locate the geocache container that contains a log. Written on the log and cache container (in most cases) will be a code word that you need to write down on the passport in the corresponding block to show that you have found the cache. Upon completion of all of the geocaches listed on the passport along with each corresponding code word, you will need to bring your completed passport to the Georgetown Scott County Tourism Office, 399 Outlet Center Dr, Georgetown, to receive a FREE trackable 2" geocoin.
