The Location
A walk around Historic Lynchburg Square is like stepping back in time. The unique shops and restaurants in restored buildings, the historic Courthouse built in 1885 and the Old Jail Museum are just a few of the things that will remind you of an earlier time. History comes alive in the many restored businesses and homes where you can listen to stories about the escapades of Jack Daniel and area history.
The Area
Lynchburg, TN isn't a place you "pass through" on your way to somewhere else. It is so off the beaten path, it's either your destination or you are lost. Granted, most people come to Lynchburg the first time to take the tour of the oldest registered distillery in the United States. If you take the time to stay a little longer, you will discover an old fashioned town, the likes of which you may have thought no longer existed. A charming town square surrounds the 100 year old courthouse. No need to hurry. Just stop and chat awhile. Life moves at a slower pace in Lynchburg.
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.
Special thanks to the Pied Piper for archiving an existing listing to make this cache possible.
