Texas Adventures in Denison & Sherman

We stopped in Denison TX for a couple of geocaches related to the history of the trains that were part of that town. But as we drove into the historic district, we saw a sign that said Birthplace of Dwight D. Eisenhower. Really? His birthplace? That is the unexpected part of geocaching I love.

We followed the signs and came upon the historic site.

some touch-up going on at the house

his birthplace and home for 3 years

We continued down the road to Sherman TX and found an interesting cemetery...

a chair? a headstone?

I guess the train whistle doesn't bother the residents

some engraving on the throne

there were 3 thrones in that part of the cemetery

the oldest college in TX

All quick stops as we had more miles to go, more counties to collect, and more interesting things to see.
