Celebrating our Nation's Post Offices
Ohio Post Offices
ADDRESS: 6822 Providence St, Whitehouse, OH 43571
Apparently I visited Whitehouse back in 2013 but neglected to create an article for it. As I was managing the photos from last month’s road trip, I came across these. Better late than never is what they say.

I arrived in Georgetown late in the day. The sun had already set but I was able to get a few good photos of the exterior of the building. Turns out Georgetown is also the boy hood home of Ulysses Grant, our 18th president.
I walked about the block in the downtown area and stopped to read the plaque outside of the house he grew up in. It was late and after hours so I never went inside, but it was kind of nice to see this little bit of history. Bonus the post office is on the same street and just a short walk away.
There are also some nice historical photos decorating the lobby of the post office.

Another stop on my way home from Ohio in October of 2022. Nice to have the sun at my back and nice weather.
