A Glorious Day! letterbox is planted on the grounds of the historic Brook Farm 670 Baker St, West Roxbury, MA 02132

:

At the entrance to Brook Farm drive up the road until you arrive at

an historic marker on your right briefly explaining the history of Brook Farm and showing a map of the walking trails.

Continue driving up the winding road until you approach the entrance to the Church of the Garden of Gethsemane.

On your right will be a trail head with a metal gate and ample parking.

1. Start down the trail.

2. A ways down you will see a pond on your right.

3. You will pass many large downed trees on your left.

4. Continue walking and a large boulder will be on either side of the trail.

5. Stay on the path as it bears to the left.

6. Path takes you down a slight hill

7. A large cemetery will be on your left.

8. Path curves to the right.

9. Ahead on your left you should notice a dramatic tree uprooted laying on its side. It’s next to a large bolder.

10. Continue on path as the path turns right and down.

11. From the intersection of a path on your left that goes off into the cemetery stay on the main path and walk 50 steps.

12. You can see the remains of a handmade bridge directly off to your right.

11. Stop and look to your left. You should see a large boulder near the base of a tree.

12. Walk toward the boulder that is at the bottom of a steep incline. Above our sought out boulder is an even larger boulder at the crest of the small hill.

13. At the back side of the smaller boulder tucked under a blanket of leaves A Glorious Day! letterbox awaits you.
