Geocache Description:


Here is another edition in our puzzle series providing you history of various towns in Massachusetts and Rhode Island.


N 41° 40.ABC W 070° 54.DEF


Acushnet was first settled in 165A and was officially incorporated as a town in 1B60.

Acushnet has been included as a part of three separate towns throughout its history. It was formerly the northeastern section of the town of Dartmouth, which included the towns of Westport, New Bedford, and Fairhaven. In 178D, New Bedford separated from Dartmouth, and included the lands of Fairhaven and Acushnet.

In 1E12, Fairhaven was incorporated as a separate town, again including the lands of Acushnet.

In 184C, Herman Melville joined the crew of the whaler Acushnet. He later wrote about his travels at sea culminating in the novel Moby Dick.

In 191F, the Acushnet Process Company (now the Acushnet Company), was founded in the town, and continues to be one of Southeastern Massachusetts' most enduring industries. The Acushnet Company owns the Titleist brand name, under which golf balls, golf clubs, and other golf paraphernalia are marketed.


The final cache is a typical magnetic nano hidden in fairly typical fashion. Hope you enjoy.
