Today’s featured post office is Edgar Wisconsin. Dedication Plaque right on the outside of the building by the entrance. How about that? Not the most thrilling building but its still a post office.

Thanks,

ADDRESS: 106 N. Main St. STE C, Eastman, Wisconsin 54626

Today’s featured post office is Eastman Wisconsin. I wonder if Eastman Kodak grew up here? Funny but that’s the first thing that came to my mind.

Thanks for stopping by
