Go to the Western Gateway Heritage State Park in North Adams.

***********************************************************

Almost like a Muggle version of Hogsmeade, this small collection of shops and attractions also features the North Adams Museum of History and Science, the park's DCR Visitor's Center and the Freight Yard Pub - no butterbeer here, but still a great place for a bite to eat!
Go through the small village, past the large pine tree in the center. To the far right, you'll find the Hogwarts Express at Platform 9 3/4. Not to worry, strong Anti-Muggle Concealment Charms make it appear as an old, red, broken down caboose with a blue freight car.
Across from Platform 9 3/4 there is a large, stone and concrete wall. To get to Diagon Ally, take out your wand and tap the fourth stone to the left. To find the Letterbox at Platform 9 3/4, go to the sixth wooden flower planter from the Hogwarts Express. Turn and face the stone/concrete wall. You will see two bushes with a phone pole between them. Behind these, a little to the right you will see a crevice in the stone about 3 feet up in the wall. There, under a pile of rocks and bits of concrete you will find the Letterbox at Platform 9 3/4.

PLEASE be careful that no Muggles are around when you get the letterbox. There are benches you can sit at while you stamp in. PLEASE make sure it is rehidden well. Thank you and enjoy!
