The Old Trails Museum is a partner in the Historic AZ 66 Geocaching Project! Geocaching is a worldwide “treasure-hunting” game played by GPS users. This series of caches, which is a partnership between the Historic Route 66 Association of Arizona and several of Arizona’s Route 66 communities, debuted on April 1. “Cachers” will get a unique look at the history of these Route 66 communities, sites, and attractions. The project celebrates Arizona’s State Centennial on February 14, 2012, and has an official Arizona Centennial Legacy Project designation from the Arizona Historical Advisory Commission.
