Oliver House
In Middleborough MA., is the Oliver House. Built in 1769, it has been part of history throughout the Revolutionary War as an angry mob forced them to abandon the home in 1775 to return to England for their safety.

"Everyone stood outside about one-hundred feet away from the tunnel and talked for a little while when the investigation was finished. I was very glad to be out of there.
