Union finally got electricity, but other than that the description of the town is pretty much spot on today. The Congregational Church is the most prominent structure in the town and is the second meeting house in the town.

UNION (alt. 980, town pop. 196), 37.5 m., where lumbering has long
been the only industry, is a town with the smallest population of any
in the State, and the only town without electrical service. Settled in 1727 as the 'Union Lands,' a combination of East Stafford and State
lands, the town was named in 1732 and incorporated in 1734. On a hill beside the highway, at the center, are a tiny, modern library, a mid-nineteenth-century schoolhouse with a Civil War cannon aimed at it, and (L) the Congregational Church (1834) with a little Gothic window in the gable end.
