Attica Indiana Post Office

September 29, 2021 By David W. Gates Jr.

Attica IN Post Office 47918
Attica IN Post Office 47918

ADDRESS: 107 E Main St, Attica, IN 47918
ARTIST: Reva Jackman
TITLE: Trek of the Covered Wagons to Indiana
MEDIUM: Oil on canvas (mural)
STATUS: The Attica post office is still an active, operating facility, and the mural can be viewed by interested members of the pubic. It resides in the lobby on a wall above the postmaster’s door.
YEAR: 1938

I’m grateful for the wonderful weather, blue skies when I visited the Attica, Indiana post office. Unfortunately, the lobby is closed on Sunday’s and I was not able to see the mural. I’ll have to plan another trip.

Note to self: plan your next trip during business hours so you can see the mural.

Update, I was able to re-visit this one in February 2022 during business hours. I love the display case they have in the lobby. It has some great post office memorabilia from the past. Great historical display.
