The Location
Placed on the edge of the Montana Drive In property, with the kind permission of the owners.
The Area
Coffee County came into existence on January 8, 1836 as parts of four neighboring counties - Franklin to the south, Bedford to the west, Warren to the northeast and Grundy to the southeast were combined to form the county. The county seat, Manchester was named after the industrial city of Manchester, England. It was believed that the Tennessee version of it’s English cousin would mimic its relative in becoming an industrial city due to its proximity to the waterways of the area. One of those installations’ remnants (an old paper mill) is still very visible inside Old Stone Fort State Park.
The Jack Trail GeoTour
The Jack Trail GeoTour is a series of geocaches along the backroads and small towns of Middle Tennessee. There is no fixed itinerary, like on a traditional trail, but rather a series of points of interest in a self-guided, goal-oriented plan. We have created a special passport, which you can download here, which lets you track your progress as you hunt specially placed geocaches along the tour. This passport will help you collect “code words” to qualify for special geocoins for completion of the GeoTour.
