Welcome to the Village of Bergen NY. Bergen was originally settled about 1805 when a road was built from Le Roy to Lake Ontario. The village was incorporated in 1877. Bergen is about .6 square miles in size and has a population of about 1250 people.
This geo-cache is a 3 part multi. The first waypoint is located in Hickory Park. Very few communities have such a large beautiful park within their borders. This 10-acre park features two pavilions, a playground, two baseball fields, bathrooms and basketball courts. Hickory Park has been the scene of many carnivals, picnics, celebrations, ball games, and the annual Bergen Park Day. A memorial rock with plaque and flag pole greets visitors and reminds us of the men and women of our community who have sacrificed their lives for their country. The plaque can be found at the posted coordinates. From this plaque you will find the information needed to get the coordinates for way point two.
