Thank you for thinking of us with your geocache!
The Ohio Historical Society welcomes geocaches and the people who place
and seek them. In order to provide a quality experience for those we serve,
the Ohio Historical Society has developed the following policy for geocaching
at any of our sites. To find a site, visit the Places section of our website. Please
contact the site manager at the location where you wish to place a cache
or email geocache@ohiohistory.org
with any questions you may have.
Site managers may designate non-sensitive areas of the park that can be
utilized for recreational activities by the geocaching community. A specific
number of available permits will be decided for each area.
Managers of sites operated by partner organizations will have the option
to allow geocaching at the site(s) they manage. If they do this, they
must follow these rules or seek Ohio Historical Society approval of alternate
rules.
Ohio Historical Markers are located throughout the state. To place a
geocache at a marker please contact the sponsor organization of the individual
marker. Sponsors have the right to decide whether or not a geocache may
be placed on their property. Visit Remarkable Ohio
to discover more the Ohio Historical Markers, their locations and sponsors.
Placing a Cache Guidelines
Please read the following
Geocache Guidelines (54k PDF, will load in new window), before setting up a geocache site. To download
the Geocaching Application,
click here to view an Adobe Acrobat PDF (37k PDF, will load in new window)
for an application.
You will work with the site manager to determine the specific location
and name of your site. A cache cannot be approved for placement in a sensitive
archaeological, historical, or ecological area. At that time you will
be given a OHS Geocache permit. A limited number of available permits
will be decided for each area. If a site is set up without a permit, the
cache will be confiscated.
