Boston Post Road
68 Miles from Boston
This road is the first mail route in North America, established in 1673 by King Charles II of England.
In 1767, while Benjamin Franklin was Postmaster General, mileage was marked out with stone markers from Boston to New York City.
Marker is at the intersection of E Main Street (Massachusetts Route 9) and School Street, on the right when traveling west on E Main Street.
