Long before George Washington became the commanding general of the Continental Army and then the President of The United States, as a young man he surveyed the forest and fields on the frontier of the British Colony of Virginia in what is known as the Shenandoah Valley. In the year 1747, he helped survey a tract of land for a friend that was then named "The Cave Farm".
He revisited the farm and his friend a year later in 1748. It is this visit and what he may have done in a nearby cave that has become the center of a long line of local Masonic lore and legend.
In this video, I venture to the cave with my friend Dr. Jason Williams. Dr. Williams has researched the early life of George Washington and specifically his association with a secret cave that was once used by some of this country's first and most powerful Freemasons. The cave was also used by Military Officers/Freemasons to conduct meetings during both the French and Indian War (1754-63) and the American Revolution (1775-83).
About Aquachigger:
I enjoy metal detecting for historical items like gold coins, relics, silver coins, and other buried treasures. I also metal detect for gold and silver nuggets and even meteorites. I like to make videos that promote my choice of lifestyle that includes outdoor adventure,
metal detecting, yapping, searching for river treasure, SCUBA diving, exploring abandoned places, hiking, caving, caring for animals and pets, and observing the things outdoors that often go unnoticed by most people who are not familiar with outdoor adventures and nature. I keep my RU-vid "Aquachigger" channel family-friendly and hope you subscribe if you like my style.
