Clues:

To begin start at the steps of the Vermont History Center near the original 1893 Spaulding grade school bell. Turn and face away from the history center and walk towards the Robert Burns memorial. Examine each of the panels carved into the granite and follow the path closest to the horse and rider being chased until you reach the side walk.

Standing on the sidewalk turn immediately to your left and walk up the hill (keeping the Vermont History Center sign on your left). You will pass two trees before passing a number of bushes on your left. Continue walking past the bushes and a brick walkway until you reach a small concrete path leading towards the back of the building. Find the large concrete slab with a green box on top. The letterbox is hidden under the backside of the concrete slab.
