This letterbox is located just outside the Old Pembroke Town Pound. For those who don't know what a town pound is, It is where they kept loose livestock until it was claimed. At a meeting held July 6, 1813, the Town of Pembroke voted to build a "pound" of stone at "the corner of Mr. Lakeman's Pasture by the town-house", and raise $147.50 for that purpose. Christopher Osgood bid off the contract to build it at $135.00. Remains of the pound can be seen at the corner of Fourth Range Road and Pembroke Hill Road.
Though you may be tempted to enter this cool place, don't! Evidently some bees have claimed it as their home. So stay outside of the walls and look near a corner of the foundation on Pembroke Hill Road. There is a tree stump near it. Please park and walk safely at that curve in the road. Happy Hunting
