We are recording from an abandoned Post Office somewhere in rural Mass. There are at least 24 post offices in Massachusetts that have been closed since 1900 and had their zip cods retired. Wait, how did a post office close before 1963 have its ZIP cancelled if there were no ZIP codes? THAT is another mystery for a different time...

For a number of reasons Massachusetts is thought of as a product of British colonialism. We fought a revolution against the British, English is our primary language, our legal system is based on English law, and the state is part of “New England”. However, many may be surprised that before Massachusetts became English it was Dutch.
