Geocache Description:

The leader of our team is having a special birthday this year, so we are placing 29 caches in honor of her special day!

You are headed for a park and grab at the site of the Union Academy in Alamo.

In the 1800's the San Ramon Vallley was little more than farms and small villages. For parents who wanted their children to have high school educations, students were sent to board in Oakland, Berkeley or San Francisco. The one exception during the nineteenth century when higher education was available in the valley was from 1860 to 1868 when the Union Academy, a boarding high school (with day students) initiated by the Cumberland Presbyterian Church, was built in Alamo. The three-story Academy was the largest valley building of that period. When the school burned down in 1868, it would take another 42 years before a public high school would be built to replace it.
