ADDRESS: 336 Broadway St., South Haven, Michigan 49090

One very handsome building is the South Haven Michigan Post Office. As I took a closer look at this one I was immediately drawn to the green stone accents on the exterior. The front entrance has this wonderful green arch around the door. Above the four front windows are also 4 green rectangles that add to the front decor of the building. A tall and proud building from the past and I”m delighted to see it in excellent condition. I’m also glad I was able to visit during normal business hours. I found a classic old post office box tucked away in the corner of the lobby. Now on to the Blue Berry Festival.

We recently visited South Haven for their annual Blueberry Festival. Unfortunately the farmers had a tough year with the drought, so blueberry picking was limited. We did end up finding a local farm to pick our own. We enjoyed everything blueberry, from fresh blueberry turnovers, to a blueberry pancake breakfast, it was wonderful time and if you ever get the chance I highly recommend visiting.

Thanks,

Battle Creek Michigan Post Office

ADDRESS: 90 Mccamly St. S, Battle Creek, Michigan 49016

Ah Battle Creek, something keeps reminding of Battle Creek each time I repeat the name of this town in my head. I’m not able to place why this is but it just does. Ever have something pop into your mind and they wonder where it came from? Or what triggered that memory? That’s how it felt visiting Battle Creek. Someday when I remember why, I’ll update this post, but in the mean time. Enjoy the Battle Creek Post Office.

This one was difficult to find. At least my GPS was confused. We drove around the block a few times looking for it.

Thanks,

Vicksburg Michigan Post Office

Vicksburg was another post office we visited during our Blueberry festival road trip in August. Another nice smaller town with a 60’s style design. Unfortunately, it was after hours and closed when I arrived. I ended up talking a picture of the dedication plaque through the front window. Not entirely clear but at least I got it.

Thanks,
