Awesome carve, kids enjoyed this spot.

Found this box despite extremely vague directions. The people who found it before me did not place the rocks back correctly, thus hiding the ever important BRICK underneath and out of view. Also, a new logbook is needed. No more pages are left.

So glad to find this vintage letterbox that brought us to a historically preserved New England town. We had some out of town non-letterboxing visitors. A good opportunity to introduce them to letterboxing and town pounds.

Great area! Replaced wet bag with a new one.

Loved finding this "antique" box. Did the original logbook survive? The oldest ones in MA are in Wendell, but all are replacements, so I don't "count" them as being the oldest. I wonder which box in MA is still in the original spot, with the original stamp, and with all the logbooks still in the box.

Drive by this place many times never knew it was here. Thanks. Love that there is history in the location and the letterbox itself since its such an old one.

My oldest letterbox! On our way to Live & Breathe XV, we stopped into find this little guy. Saw two suspicious looking folks who turned out to be letterboxing as well...

We found this box just before Live and Breathe, and ran into two Texas boxers while there.

We happened to meet a woman in the square who had the key to the Meeting Hall, and she took us inside and gave us a tour. It was wonderful.

This is, by far, the oldest box I've found.
