Dungeon Rock is full of history and mystery! In the middle of the 17th century, four pirates – one of them named Thomas Veale – sailed up the Saugus River and built a shelter in the area. Except for Veale, the pirates were caught by the authorities and sent back to England where they were sentenced to death. Veale hid himself and the treasure in a nearby cave where he died when the cave collapsed due to an earthquake in 1658. His treasure was never found.
Today you can visit Dungeon Rock which was formerly known as Pirates' Rock by hiking along. Maybe you will find the treasure?
