Geocache Description:

This cache is part of a series of caches chronicling the history of Lawrence County as seen through the eyes and writings of Walter E. McLeod and a few others. If you are doing the Magical History tour, be sure to collect the special symbol.
The cache is also available to all Geocachers as a standalone cache.
Stop #9 on the Magical History Tour. The year is 1873.

This cache is located at the Walnut Ridge Amtrak train station. The Walnut Ridge Amtrak facility is located in the historic former Missouri Pacific-Iron Mountain depot. It is a restored 1920 Italianate/Mediterranean-style train station restored in 1995 and now serves as the local area Chamber of Commerce office, tourist information center; and AMTRAK passenger stop. Iron Mountain Railroad came through this area in the late 1800’s. "During those robust days (this area) had one of the best and largest hobo camps between Texarkana and St. Louis. It was located south of the mile long tracks in a wooded area not on the railroad right of way. This kept occupants from being harrassed by railroad special agents and free of city interruption." "One could, in those days, see the many campfires burning and files of the occupants in the flickering light".
