Because this station was monumented fairly recently, it is not loggable in Geocaching, even though it has a NGS PID. However, the description is thorough, and locating this mark is relatively easy. Park across the street from the Town Hall, or park at the rear of the Town Hall. This area tends to be busy, watch out for traffic.
