Geocache Description:

Bison tube. You can park right next to the cache (unless it's Sunday morning) :-)

On the west side of the cache is the Powelton Country Club, on the east side is Union Presbyterian Church. I have a feeling there is almost as much praying on the west side as there is on the east.

Powelton Country Club
Established in 1882, it is one of the oldest country clubs in the United States.
The property developed slowly and incrementally beginning with the site of the Powelton House, a rambling resort hotel that had burned in 1870, and gradually taking land from the surrounding Powelton Farms as the golf course was expanded. The Powelton Lawn Tennis Club of Newburgh, New York was formally organized on March 29,1882 by Homer Ramsdell, one of Newburgh’s leading businessmen, and three of his associates. By the year’s end membership stood at 160 with a female majority. In that same year, the United States Lawn Tennis Association was founded and the Powelton Club was among the 33 charter members. The fledgling club had two tennis courts, a windmill to water the courts, and a summerhouse to provide shelter for the guests. In April of 1892, The Powelton Club received its charter and seal of incorporation.

Union Presbyterian Church
Union's first church, located on the corner of North Water and Clinton Streets, was dedicated on May 1, 1838. In 1859, the congregation united with the Old School Presbyterians and bought the Colonial Presbyterian Church (located at the corner of First and Montgomery Streets). The church’s present location is known as “Dunmovin,” the former estate of John Aspinwall. Located at 44 Balmville Road, the congregation purchased the property in 1957. The sanctuary had been a music room, containing a Kimball pipe organ, chestnut paneling, and ten Tiffany stained-glass windows. We are a member of the Hudson River Presbytery that extends from Sullivan County to Yonkers in southern Westchester county.

Parking is available on the west side of Balmville Rd., right next to the cache location.
