Come one, come all! Bring food for sharing, bring caching items,
bring geocoins, Travel Bugs, your GPSr, your family, and a sense of
adventure! We plan to have some fun, discuss upcoming events for
KTAG, and do some hunting! Anyone who wants to place any caches in
the area, just pay attention to the saturation rules. There is one
cache on site (and no room for more), and to find it you will need
to purchase a ticket for the elevator. You'll see what I mean...
Jefferson Davis Monument State Historical Site
Highway 68 E
Fairview, KY
42221-0157
270-886-1765
Jefferson Davis State Historic Site is a memorial to the famous
Kentuckian born on this site on June 3, 1808. Ironically, just
eight months later, and not more than 100 miles away, another great
Kentucky statesman was born, Abraham Lincoln. The two men were
destined to become Civil War adversaries: Union President, Abraham
Lincoln, and Confederate President, Jefferson Davis. Although Davis
is most well-known for his service as President of the Confederacy
during the Civil War, he was actually a reluctant
seccessionist.
Davis distinquished himself as a military and political leader
not only during the Civil War, but also as a West Point graduate,
Mexican War hero, Mississippi congressman and senator, and
Secretary of War during the Franklin Pierce administration.
The 351-foot monument to Davis constructed on this site marks
Davis' birthplace and rests on a foundation of solid Kentucky
limestone. Our visitor's center features exhibits detailing Davis'
political life before and after the Civil War, and offers Kentucky
handcrafts, souvenirs, books and Civil War memorabilia.

*Present at Event to Receive Award
A NOTE ON LOGGING THIS EVENT:
Please only log once per cacher (meaning, if you come, you
log only once, not once if you come and once for every honoree you
choose to congratulate).
Honoring those members who achieve is something we will try to do
every event. As our group grows, there will be an ever increasing
number of awardees each time. It is ridiculous to acquire high
numbers for someone else's achievements, so unless it is a very
special occasion (e.g. someone hits 10,000), let's keep the
congratulations to writing notes. Post as many of those as you'd
like!
Thanks,
~ SDAJumpmaster
