A bit of history along the Saddle River Pathway.

The container is big enough for a little swag and trackables.

While researching this tower, I discovered that there had been a hide here 9 years ago that only lasted a few months (GCNEYJ). Hopefully this one will survive the summer. The area is in a high muggle zone, so please use stealth.

For those of you who collect benchmarks, # KV0149 is close by.


The Arcola estate was named after the area it was in, Arcola. In the past, the Arcola Estate used to belong to Mortimer Easton. The estate consisted of over fifty acres of beautiful landscaped gardens and a twenty-one-room homestead. There were many rooms with varieties of purposes such as a billiard room, music room, ballroom, sun parlor, dining rooms that were separate for residents and servants, eight bedrooms, two pantries, five baths, and four servant bedrooms. The Arcola watermill was located on the estate property. This mill functioned as a pump house to move the water to the twenty-six acres of lawns, pond, fountain areas, and formal gardens. Movies were even filmed with the Arcola watermill as the background setting, with famous actors and actresses such as Mary Pickford, Douglas Fairbanks, and Fatty Arbuckle starring in them. The Easton family and the Hackensack Trust Company wanted to sell the property and preserve the estate, but the attempt failed. The estate was later divided, and the homestead was demolished. However, the watermill still exists and is currently a landmark.
