Geocache Description:

A small cache in historic Swansea Village to highlight the new gazebo at the local library. This cache was placed with permission from both the library and Swansea historical society.

The gazebo was constructed in August of 2011 in memory or Ryan Kelly, a Swansea resident and library page who died in February of 2011 at the age of 25. The gazebo will be used for outdoor library activities and programs. (visit link)

While you are here, take note of the interesting architecture that surrounds you as well as the historic cemetery located next to the parking lot. There is another historic cemetery located just down the street behind Christ Church.

An excerpt from a Fall River Herald News article dated 3/12/2009:
"Kevin Lawton, library director at the Swansea Library, said the library, the town hall and the church were intentionally built to represent three diverse styles of architecture, possibly to provide town residents with an education in architecture. "

"Prominent town resident Frank Stevens paid for the town hall construction and left money in his will for the library and church. Stevens’ friend, Henry Vaughn, the architect of the National Cathedral, designed the town hall building in the Romanesque style. The town hall, which was built in 1891, was originally used as a town meeting place. "

If you are here during library hours, take a stroll inside the library and visit with Penny, the fluffy and friendly library cat!

The cache is a small (4 x 1.5 inches), clear container with some tiny trinkets to start off. Both the town hall and library can be very busy during working hours so please use stealth. Please be courteous to the patrons. It is located in the cemetery adjacent to the parking area. Please DO NOT attempt this at night!
