Time needed: 15 minutes to find the two letterboxes, endless hours to wonder around and find wonderful books

The bookbarn letterbox was recarved and replanted on 2/2/08

Directions from North or South Interstate 95 to the Book Barn Take exit 72, for Rocky Neck State Park. At the end of ramp, turn left at traffic light. Proceed 2.1 miles and the shop will be on left. From 395 or Route 9, proceed South to Interstate 95 and then follow the above.

If you are interested in finding out more about the store visit their web site

As you enter the grounds of Book Barn go up the stairs on your left into the main building. Enter the building, head up the stairs, watch out for sleeping dogs and cats. At the top of the stairs look right toward the childrens section. Once you are in the childrens area look to the speakers to find the Book Barn Letterbox.

Retrace your steps to the main floor of the barn. Feel free to look at the many wonderful books on all three floors. Once you have gone back out the front door head past the friendly goats on your way to the Last Page. You may want to stop first at the Underworld just to read the sign. It always makes me crack up. Once you enter the Last Page here are your clues:

In the Last Page head to the back right corner of the building. You'll find the More Than 150,000 Books Letterbox. I'm 5ft 6in. and I can reach the letterbox, there are stepping stools around if you have trouble. Please place the letterbox back where you found it, try to get it out of sight; the last time I checked on it the log book had been taken. I have since replaced the log book.

When you leave the Last Page check out the other buildings, there is truly something for everyone here. I hope you enjoy Book Barn as much as we do. Make sure to say Hi to the many animals and Randi, the owner, too.

Also, don't forget to get the Relax and Read letterbox that I added on after these were planted.
