30mm Barre, MA circle postmark on folded letter - transcription icluded

In 1844, Barre's postal service was run by Nahum F. Bryant, who served as the local postmaster during this era. There was no dedicated federal building. The post office was operated out of a local storefront or commercial hub near the Barre Common, which was a bustling center of activity at the time. All mail was carried in and out of town via horse-drawn stagecoaches connecting Barre to larger hubs like Worcester and Boston.
