This letterbox is part of the GO and Build a Better World! program in Adams County. It will be available from June 3, 2017 to July 29, 2017. Further details about the program may be found at www.goadams.org.
The GO and Build a Better World! program requires you to search for up to 15 “landmarks” – wooden posts with engraved plates on them, instead of a traditional letterbox and stamp. Please use a colored pencil or crayon to carefully rub the impression onto your GO and Build a Better World! rubbing sheet, available for free at any Adams County Library.
GO Adams! level of difficulty = Moderate

- Carefully cross the driveway, turn left after the electrical box and then right before the next building.
- Follow the paths back to the sidewalk along the main road, turn right and carefully cross on the crosswalk back to the parking lot.
