Geocache Description:


Welcome to the Union Public Library, 1980 Morris Avenue, Union, NJ 07083

After a two year construction with temporary location on Stuyvesant Ave, this three story building opened to the public June 2025.

 

1. At the posted coordinate is a monument and statue bust with name of the person. Take note of this person.

 

2. An additional hint where to begin can be found on the side of a rock plaque containing Honor Roll of Mayors, Township of Union, 1845 - 2008

__ = Line 8 : 4th mayor (last name, 1st letter;

__ = Penultimate (next to last) line : mayor with similar first & last name, 2nd letter;

__ = Line 9 : mayor who served 4 times non-consecutively (last name, 1st letter); and

__ = Line 2 : 2nd mayor (last name, 1st letter).

The above will spell a 4 letter word that indicates where to Begin your Scavenger Hunt inside the library.

 

3. There are several stages inside, each with a clue that leads to the next stage, until you reach the final cache container.
