'52 Great Things to Do in Union County'

From an eye-popping model train display to a lavish 1920’s vaudeville house, Union County is full of hidden and not-so-hidden surprises. Now you can explore dozens of them by visiting a new page on the Union County website, “52 Great Things to Do in Union County,” at ucnj.org .

The new page was inspired by a recent magazine article titled “52 Things Every New Jerseyan Must Know.”

“Union County was barely mentioned in the article, and that’s a bit mystifying because we can match practically every one of those 52 things, with the possible exception of whale watching,” said Union County Freeholder Chairman Alexander Mirabella, a resident of Fanwood. “We even have pedal boats.”

Mirabella noted that Union County offers many unique sites and experiences that are difficult if not impossible to find anywhere else in the region, such as a historic Shakespeare Garden, an Olympic-scale public archery range, and the Deserted Village of Feltville.
