Geocache Description:

Welcome to C-MASS Geofest 2017!!!

This year’s main event will be held on August 19th from 12:00pm -5:00pm at the Hamilton Rod and Gun Club (24 Hamilton Rd, Sturbridge, MA). This event is for all ages. Please join us at the event for fun, games, raffles, and to learn more about geocaching in the Central Massachusetts area.


Cmass This is the third annual event that is centered in the town of Sturbridge Massachusetts, one of the many towns that make up Central Massachusetts Geofest. Sturbridge has many things to offer, including antiques, flea markets/shopping, Orchards, recreational areas, fine and casual dining, breweries and Old Sturbridge Village. This particular region is a great place to visit, with 19 state forests, 3 State parks, a National Wildlife refuge and many wildlife management areas. There are also plenty of hiking trails, rail trails, ponds, rivers and places to explore outside. Sturbridge offers something for everyone to enjoy. The town alone currently has 189 geocaches placed in the area, and nearly 650 including the surrounding towns.

There will be much to do and see at our main event, but we have also put together a fantastic lineup of pre-events, as well as post events too. You are more than welcome to come for the day, the weekend, or stay the whole week!!!
