Discover a piece of hidden history in the heart of Barbour County! This geocache is placed just outside the Barbour County Courthouse, a landmark that stands where surgeons once treated wounded soldiers during the Revolutionary War.
Long before the courthouse was built, this area served as a place of healing—a site where the scars of battle were tended, and the strength of a young nation took root. The sounds of musket fire may have faded, but the legacy of those who fought and sacrificed lives on.
This cache is part of SPARK 250’s Colonial Geocache Trail, a project dedicated to exploring our shared history as we approach America’s 250th anniversary. Each stop on the trail invites you to reflect on the places, people, and moments that shaped our country.
