Celebrating our Nation's Post Offices
ADDRESS: 2811 Entrance Rd. Mammoth Cave, KY 42259
Our summer vacation was to Mammoth Cave National Park. Low and behold, there is also a post office office there. Lucky me. This one caught me off guard and I wasn’t really prepared to sit and wait for the cars to leave.
Thanks,
David W. Gates Jr.

Thank you for sharing.
Hi David,
You’ll see that I placed a few photos on Twitter from visits to the post offices in Greenville, KY; Princeton, KY; and Osceola, AR. Via email I’ll send you additional photos that you may post on your website. Attached to this email are more photos from the Greenville KY post office. The statue of the boy saluting the flag is located directly outside the post office building; it’s very cool.
