St. Joseph's Abbey in Spencer, Massachusetts, is a noteworthy example of a Cistercian Abbey in New England. Usually we write lengthy descriptions of locationless caches, but the St. Joseph's Abbey website has such an excellent [url=http://www.spencerabbey.org/history.html]history page[/url], that we'll simply point interested readers to it to learn more about the history of this unique abbey.

Thanks for encouraging us to make a visit to this interesting place!
