A new container in a new location a permissable distance from the tracks but still within sight of the original building mentioned in the cache title. A nano cache with room for a log only. BYOP. Tweezers recommended. Plenty of parking, but be wary of spots that require stickers, if you are planning to stay for a while.
This cache is located at another historical Ramsey site, the Ramsey Train Station. In 1848, the Paterson & Ramapo Railroad purchased land for a new station from Peter J. Ramsey, when this area was known as Franklin Township. The Paterson & Ramapo Railroad was purchased shortly thereafter by the New York & Erie Railroad. The area became known as Ramsey's Station, and in time, simply Ramsey. A town grew up around the station, and it became an important stop for people, freight, and fruit, particularly strawberries, the leading Ramsey crop for many years.
Near the tracks toward is a building that now houses a florist and other retail stores once was the home of the Ramsey Journal, an ice cream store, pharmacy, hardware store and meat market. The Starbuck's nearby used to be Parvin's drug store. Across Main Street, another historical building houses Brady's at the Station, a popular Irish pub, which has been a Ramsey gathering place for decades and dispays many historical photographs of the town. Come visit on Sundays from June to October to experience the wonderful Ramsey Farmer's market from 10am to 2pm. CONGRATS TO BRIGUYNY as FTF! We aspire to someday have a BRIGUYNY cache named for us! See the OCATT trail caches for a great caching adventure!
