History-Cacher Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 Does anybody know any resources for finding Geocaches that have a historical theme? I like to travel and visit a locality history and being able to find them easily would be helpful. You know how it is when you are on vacation time is limited. BTW: Is there an Icon for history themed geocaches? Historically yours, -RKO Quote Link to comment

I have a historical caches bookmark (which is limited to Washington State), and that is how I find likely caches. Quote Link to comment
urbangeopirate Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 Hi, I am new to all this but l like this idea! I am also fasinated by history and l wonder if there are any in New Jersey or the Tri-State area, there is a lot of history up here. Thanks Rob Quote Link to comment
Camp7Chris Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 I’m new to geocaching, I noticed several different icons for different caches, as a history buff I would love to see something dedicated to history, why not a Historical Site set up similar to earthcach? Quote Link to comment
+Carbon Hunter Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 You can look at the MAGC - Millit Assoc of Geocachers. These have a number of historical caches from their members. Quote Link to comment

Washington certainly does have some historical caches, or at least my home town does (Sequim). To find them all you have to do is keyword search Sequim. Quote Link to comment
+BOA3532 Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 I like the idea of a history cache. Quote Link to comment
+Semper Questio Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 I brought up that idea back when Earthcaches came about and it was met with rather underwhelming response. With the proliferation of rather meaningless micros, I've found that Waymarking gives me a much better historical fix then caches have in a very long time. Quote Link to comment
+journey4truth Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 +1 regarding Waymarking. I LOVE history caches, but filtering them out can be tough. I'm lucky though because many caches around here tend to be placed in historical spots to commemorate their significance, so I never have to look too hard. I do wish they included a separate label for historical caches like they do for earth caches. I can't believe the interest in this isn't that marked. Quote Link to comment
+Springerdog Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 (edited) I am a geocacher and also a travel agent. I have specifically put together a cruise with special group rates for geocachers to travel up the west coast from San Francisco to Vancouver with a port of call in Astoria Oregon. From Astoria, it is possible to geocache near Fort Clatsop where Lewis and Clark ended their exploratory expedition to the Pacific Ocean. I thought that geocachers would be excited about the historical aspects of the Lewis and Clark experience. My husband and I are excited about going on that cruise and would be delighted to have other geocachers aboard. Of course there is LOTS of history in SF, Victoria and Vancouver, BC as well. This cruise will take place between May 14-18, 2011. Please feel free to contact me for more information. Edited June 28, 2010 by Springerdog Quote Link to comment

Group rate is good until November 13 when reservation deposits need to be made. Shall I remind you in October? It will be good to have you along! Quote Link to comment
