Mississippi’s Tiniest Museum (Hattiesburg MS Geotour)

Send us Fan MailA random “crinkle” sound kicks things off, but the real story quickly turns into a love letter to geocaching travel as we head to Hattiesburg, Mississippi for one of our favorite kinds of adventures: an official GeoTour. We explain what a GeoTour is, why it works so well for road trips, and how it can turn a quick stopover into a full weekend of hidden gems, local history, and surprisingly good sightseeing. Craig is joined by Joshua and special guest Jennifer (geocaching name JayBee85), who helps pull him back to Hattiesburg to finish what he started. We talk trip planning basics that actually matter, like why an Airbnb can be a better home base than a hotel, how timing affects restaurant and brewery options, and what makes a town easy to cache in. Then we dig into the highlights that make this GeoTour memorable: murals everywhere, creative hides, a passport-style completion system, and a geocoin pickup that sends you to a vintage vinyl record shop and cafe instead of a boring counter. The star of the conversation is the Pocket Museum, Mississippi’s tiniest museum, tucked into an alley that rewards slow looking and repeat visits. We also share what we think tourism agencies and local geocachers should copy: real variety in locations, quality containers, and a plan for ongoing maintenance so the tour stays worth the drive. If you love geocaching, GeoTours, and small-town road trips in the United States, hit play, then subscribe, share the episode with a caching friend, and leave a review so more travelers can find the next great town.Geotour LINKCraig's Video LINKSupport the showFacebookInstagramYoutube
