Many early
communities, like Annandale, located their post office in
the general store. However, in 1886, a small
building like this was built. The shelves and mail
slots here are from the Annandale and Clearwater post
offices. They were being used to sort nuts and
bolts in the basement of the hardware store until they
were given for this display. The early post office
was open only a few hours each day after the train had
left the mail sack. It was considered a neighborly
thing to pick up and deliver the mail that was addressed
to anyone whose house would be passed going home since
most farmers did not have many opportunities to get into
town.
