Post Office

We enjoyed our tour of the Winsted Post Office. Our guide was very informative.

It was a beautiful spring day so we really enjoyed our walk to the Post Office.

There is a beautiful mural in the Winsted Post Office depicting people deciding on where the post office should be built. The mural is of a town green and some important buildings that were in the area in the 1800's.

Thank you Amy for the USPS Fun Facts. They really are fun!! Did you know that mail is delivered to the bottom of the Grand Canyon on mules??

The most isolated post office is in northern Alaska. The mail is the only link that the 300 people who live there have. The mail must be flown in as there are no roads to the town.

Let us know what other fun facts you have about the Postal Service.
