History-Cacher Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 I started an index of geocaches with a history theme. Already it is off to a good start but we need more. If you are interested in geocaching with a history theme then you might be interested in this project. History buffs welcome to forward me information of their favorite geocaches.

History-Cacher Posted December 11, 2010 Author Share Posted December 11, 2010 2AYQ3 1RJ40 1RJ3J 1RC90 1R2MZ Thanks Trader! I have so many for Florida, I started a special page. Florida is the most populated for www.historycaching.us SC is next, Georgia, Ohio and one in NJ. Just for fun with words, I decided to change the name from Index (boring) to Union. So we are looking for more states to join the Union of historical Geocaches. To add more fun to this, I am thinking of finding organizers from each state and call them Governors. Anybody want to be the Governor of Ohio? SC? NJ? More info on this later. -RKO Quote Link to comment

GC2AYQ3 There was a similar thread about rounding up history caches not long ago. The consensus was that you have a monumental task ahead of you. Depending on how you define "history cache," probably a third of the caches out there could qualify. Washington state has thousands of history-themed caches, e.g. One of our locals was keeping a history caches bookmark list, but gave up because there are so many. Another cacher decided to focus on railroad-history caches in WA, and developed a fairly complete and manageable list. Edited December 13, 2010 by hydnsek Quote Link to comment

History-Cacher Posted December 18, 2010 Author Share Posted December 18, 2010 Hello, I thought I would start a new thread for updates since the other ones are getting a lot of activity. I recently updated HistoryCaching website with some new features. 1) A poll to get an idea what topics of history are the most popular. 2) A place to subscribe which is ideal for the next two features. 3) Added Governors links feature which will be geocachers who have assumed responsibility to collect and organize history themed geocachers from their state. And 4) Scouts who will assist them be makiing suggestions. 6) And finally, I added two more states with their own pages to our Union of History themed geocachers. Welcome Alabama and Michigan to the Union! Where ever possible I will added some history talk to our endeavors. Historically yours, Ray Osborne "Live from Cape Canaveral" Quote Link to comment

Maine . The Maine blew up and sank, instantly sending 266 sailors to a watery grave on February 15, 1898 while tied up in Havana Harbor, precipitating the Spanish American War. The metal plaque is made from metal from the sunken hull of the Maine. Clearwater: GC2AYQ3 Florida Spirit Quest #006: "IRON MIKE"-- This cache will take you to one of Viquesney's 134 famous "SPIRIT OF THE AMERICAN DOUGHBOY" statues, honoring the veterans and casualties of World War I. The statue depicts a soldier walking through shattered tree stumps strung with barbed wire, his rifle in his left hand and his right hand held high above his head, clutching a hand grenade.

History-Cacher Posted January 12, 2011 Author Share Posted January 12, 2011 (edited) I started a bookmark list of NJ's history related caches. I will be adding to it as I learn about more. I visited that list. Some good revolutionary geocaches to visit and the Den looks interesting. Here is a suggestion you may want to try, consider visiting Waymarking in your state and consider planting caches closeby to their historical waymarks. A symbiotic relationship that can help both. Also if you drop into President Cleveland Home which is now a museum you might see if they would take a flyer about a nearby geocache. I started making up little laminated cards with the name of the nearby historycache and leaving them at historic museums public tables (permissions of course). I think building symbiotic relationships with members of local historic community has merit. A lot of them are not technology minded but often I hear. "Oh yeah, my son or daughter is into that." Which might prove a good bonding hobby. I think that is what makes my day when I read a log entry and you hear of a family finding and enjoying the history-cache together. Now if I could just get them to take a picture and upload it. -RKO HistoryCaching PS. Still wish we could get a history caching forum here.

medoug Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 (edited) Hi RKO, Nice project! Very ambitious.
