Today in honor of the Holiday’s I bring you the Holliday Missouri Post Office. Although spelled with two “L’s” It’s the thought that counts. This was a great little visit back in August.

As we were headed home from one of our trips we decided drive through Holliday. It was pretty easy to convince my girlfriend to stop as her last name is Holliday with the same spelling. So we did, and found out some interesting bits of information while here.

Apparently, the town was named after a Holliday. It also appears there are also some Holliday’s still residing in Holliday Misouri. The post master also commented they often times get Christmas Cards addressed to them. Just some more fun stuff I though you would enjoy.

Have a great day from the Holliday, Missouri Post Office.

Ok, I’m trying to figure out what brought me out this way. I took this picture back in August of this year.  Old age starting to sink in, or just too many post offices visits to remember? I don’t know!

Thanks,

Hartford Wisconsin Post Office

Welcome to today’s featured post office. Yesterday we featured the original WPA era Hartford post office building.  As you know Hartford Wisconsin has grown tremendously in the past few years and with the grown came a new facility.

Today’s Hartford post office is a far cry from the character of the original building. Although I was happy to find out the Mural has been preserved and taken care of, I would have been much happier if it would have been placed in the post office rather than the local art center. That’s just my opinion, but I’m just saying. The new building even has a dedication plaque inside.

Thanks,

David W. Gates Jr.
