The Union County court house is at the intersection of Broad Street and Rahway Avenue. Next door, on Broad Street, is the very old First Presbyterian Church, which should have some graves of interest. On the other side of the Court House, just across Rahway Avenue, is the Public Library, a good place to start your search. They have a parking lot, which is the best place to park for the library. Last time I was there, the parking lot entrance was on Rahway Avenue, but they were doing some construction, which might change things a bit. At that intersection, Rahway Avenue becomes Elizabeth Avenue (running east), and Broad Street becomes South Broad St (running south).
I don't think there is a town called Connecticut Farms. If I remember correctly...the area is in Union, Union Co., NJ. I think it was perhaps a settlement of the time and the church still is called Connecticut Farms Presbyterian Church. Perhaps someone can enlighten me further. I think when we first visited we were looking for the city of Connecticut Farms...and I don't think it exists. Are the directions here below for Union, Union Co., NJ?
