Massachusetts has a whole bunch, which are a mystery if you're not from
here:

Leominster (LEM-ins-ter)
Leicester (LES-ter)
Woburn (WOO-burn)
Quincy (QUIN-zee)
Haverhill (HAEVE-er-ul)

Most towns ending in -ham pronounce it -um, such as Needham (NEED-um),
Dedham (DED-um) and (my home town) Stoneham (STONE-um).
