Geocache Description:

This is a micro with small log only. BYOP.


I placed this micro bison tube in the small park next to the larger section of Juniper Valley Park, my favorite park in Queens as it is the one I spent most of my childhood running around and playing in. My father taught me how to ride a bike here, awwwwws :). A fairly easy park and grab if looking for a quick smiley! High muggle traffic here, especially on nice days, so watch out!

In this section of the park you will find the Pullis Farm Cemetery. The Pullis Farm Cemetery is located in the park on North 63rd Avenue near 81st Street. Thomas Pullis bought a 32-acre farm in Middle Village in 1822. The cemetery is one of the few surviving farm burial grounds in New York City and dates back to at least 1846. A 1932 survey found three marble grave markers: one for a child, one for "J.H.G.," and a third for Thomas Pullis, Sen. and possibly his wife Elizabeth as well. In his will, Pullis prohibited the sale of the cemetery, and he left instructions to build a brick wall perimeter wall to protect it. Another portion of Pullis’s property was sold to the parish of St. Margaret’s for the site of their first church, built in 1860.
