The state school was turned into a prison in some buildings after it closed the fencing wasn't up when it was a school parole and probation also occupied one of the buildings

This is my escape pod from all the MAGness out there!

I played in a Pitch hit and run kids competition there in 1979 when I lived in Provedence

This looks very similar to the Fort up here in Prospect, Maine. Fort Knox. Look it up, they built a twin to it somewhere in Maine. This surely looks close. Fort Knox is open to the public as well. Haunted as 💩 🤣 👻 ⚰️ 💀 🎃 🦇 Happy Halloween 🦇

How did you get in them because there locked?

My mom and aunts worked there back in. The lat 60s and early 70's it's was not as bad as you are talking about. Yes it was bad but you don't know much about it I know a lot about those buildings.

I’ve been waiting for you to go here… such a sick spot I need to make my way here eventually. Talk about nostalgic

A few details that were missed... McCoy was completely rebuilt in 1998, which is why it still looks (21st century) modern. Free Parking AT the Stadium! Try that at Fenway or Polar... Ticket prices at Polar are 3X or 4x Pawtucket prices. No parking near the stadium. Parking prices at Fenway are criminal, ticket prices are some of the greediest in America. I lived in Southern Mass. for 10 years and saw a lot of PawSox games... including early Mooki Betts, Xander Bogaerts, and Rafael Devers. Pawsox, now, WoSox AAA teams are the Red Sox Farm Teams

i grew up in North Stonington i love this little town i went to wheeler high school in the early eighties best group of people i have met in my life. mr. KERR, MR Brooder, mrs Reem mr sousa mr Fisk great place. minors dairy bar. i lived on reutiman rd on Drakos Farm

Thanks for Massimg up New Hampshire! So it's J-MASS? So that stands for JackMass, correct??? Just a heads up. I think I speak for a lot of people in the state of New Hampshire! You Massholes ruined this state with your trash everywhere. I know that not all of you are bad, but it seems like 10 out of 12 of you Massholes keep Massing up New Hampshire. So keep it south of the border... Stay south! If you dare come visit, make sure you do not settle down. You must always return home to where you belong in Trashachusetts...

Just for the record.... Its actual location is not in Lincoln. It's in North Woodstock, NH

J-Mass, thank you so much for this video! I grew up in Rhode Island, and McCoy Stadium was a big part of my childhood-and later, my children's. I have fond memories of going to games with my dad, my late grandfather, and my late uncle from the early '80s on. More recently, I was able to continue the tradition by bringing my own kids to games with my dad and aforementioned uncle prior to his passing. I was heartbroken when the PawSox moved, and it’s even more heartbreaking to see McCoy in its current dilapidated, overgrown state. I attended the stadium’s final game, but getting to see it once more through your video was a nostalgic walk down memory lane. To see the statue of Sox at the end of video... I can't find the words. Thank you for bringing those warm memories back to life!

Very interesting spot Jacob! Good work as always homie. Annie and I have been thinking about this spot for awhile and I'm happy we were hesitant to go lol. Security there is not to be messed with for sure. Cheers bro!

Played football on the adjacent field from McCoy stadium in the early 90's for the Crusaders. So many fond memories going to that stadium and playing on that football field and watching many baseball games and firework shows and just growing up in that area in the last best decade. So many spots to check out in Pawtucket with historical significance. Happy treasure hunting ✌🏽♥️

Not a terribly interesting site, but thanks for the tour. Video is excellent as always!

So all that pink insulation is fiberglass. Asbestos insulation was used on items that produced heat such as boilers, turbines and steam pipes. It wasn't typically used to insulate walls or a structure from the outside elements. Other items that contained asbestos that were not insulation related were floor and ceiling tiles. That boiler and pipes in the building near the end before the sprinkler system was almost definitely covered with asbestos insulation.

3:07 3:10 i see people playing? 3:20

Nice. Shoeless Joe says ... "IF you abandon it, JMASS will come!" Lol dope vid again.

I have been there 5 times . and J you are hot as hell 🔥❤️🥰

Hi. Im one of those raft guides. :D

Awesome video! I was wondering if you would ever cover this site.

Wow, only just found this channel today, and lo and behold the man himself posts a location I've driven past many a time seeing while friends in Providence. It's definitely interesting to see a theme of neglect and abandonment among all these industrial structures, when you'd think a multimillion dollar project like this would easily find a new prospective team or be used as a more frequent fair grounds/event center. Still, there are worse things to do than building new schooling, which always seems to be in short supply. And heck, one day that school might become abandoned too lol

Minor error: at 3:43 I meant to say that the Pawtucket Slaters permanently disbanded in 1949, not 1946. Sorry about that! (Pawtucket Slaters fans, please don’t purge me!)

I can just imagine the faces of the security watching a drone fly all over the stadium, didn’t think that would slide with this place but pretty epic find regardless

i spoke to a construction worker there last week and theyre currently stripping the building of valuable machinery prepping to demolish it in january

love this stadium! wish i could go to one more game there!

So.. obviously you folks don't worry ir think about the extremely high potential of bed bugs ir anything.. sitting around on furniture etc.. 🤔

Amazing deduction skills😂 ashes! Someone probably lit a fire!

Cuh- mill- us. 😂🫶 Killin me my dude Lived here my whole life Great video! Very insightful! Ty ❤❤

Don’t let Don Voudren catch you down there. Seriously.

My neighbor used to use that place to store equipment and concrete forms. Illegally of course. I used to help him move things in/out of there for size money since they're back was wrecked. You used to be able to get a small truck in/out of there pretty easy.

FYI: It was not abandoned in 1996. Two sisters lived in it until they died a few years ago.

I wouldn’t recommend anyone go here. There is a nosey neighbor that lives right next door and took photos of my plate and had cops at my house for trespassing. This guy is a complete douchebag. Some Russian asshole.

Fun fact: @23:05 you can see the silhouette of a mountain (center of screen) locally known as "Sleeping Giant". It's a state park in Hamden, CT resembling a "sleeping giant" on the horizon.

Reminds me of the B&M Bean plat in Portland - I wonder if it was the same builders?

J-Mass, good stuff, new sub here, be safe out there man!

As I understand Eugenics, it was a system of preventing people with disabilities and mental disorders, etc, from reproducing, I’m not agreeing with it, I’m just telling it like it was, back than. Byberry State Hospital was closed in the 80’s due to similar mistreatment, My Grandmother was a nurse, and visited Byberry, in NE Philadelphia, many years ago, and witnessed the horrific maltreatment of the patients. Hence, Governor Casey closed it down in the 80’s, the problem is, there are mentally Ill people in Prisons, that do not receive the care and treatment that thry so desperately need, and do not take their medication when released. It’s a 💩show!

Why knows, maybe some of the people in Peru in South America wish they could visit Peru, Massachusetts.

How sad .... it must of been a great place.

Hey, as someone who was born and raised in this weird little town, why didn’t you show any of the three Dunkin’ Donuts representing the steady gentrification of this “picturesque New England town.” Or highlight that according to the 2022 Census, 5% of Groton residents live below the poverty line, and many close to it. Being somewhere in the middle, and not having classist parents, I had friends in elementary school who had multi-level heated pools in their back yard, and some of my friends had no yard at all. Not totally as “affluent” as you say, with a socio-economic disparity that local politicians refuse to talk about or address. This all affects the schools’ social dynamics. Also, cool little fact, “All Are Welcome” was actually fairly controversial when it went up as a town motto marking the borders of Groton, with some of the more “affluent”, as you repeatedly say asking, “what about terrorists?” “What about illegal immigrants?” and the poorer people wondered, “are we only welcoming the rich? “MAGA?” This was in 2017. The motto was first proposed during the Trump administration and was even debated at town hall meetings. Embarrassing. I will say, I appreciate the nice history project you did on the town, and I agree that Bancroft castle is great for a picnic in the summer or a seance in October. I also really liked that you highlighted the Temple. Just know that you really failed to characterize how messed up the town is today. Four out of five castles seems a bit generous. Thanks, bro.
