Nauvoo Illinois Post Office

January 25, 2012 By David W. Gates Jr.

Nauvoo IL Post Office 62354
Nauvoo IL Post Office 62354

ADDRESS: 55 N. Barnett St., Nauvoo, Illinois 62354

I had no idea Nauvoo was such a touristy town. Nauvoo is also the location of the Nauvoo Illinois State Park. I really enjoyed the drive through this town and surrounding area.

I found a metal plaque bolted into the side of the building with the year 1962 and the name Walt Zimmerman. There is no other indication of who this is. Something more to investigate or a topic for another article.

The Nauvoo post office was dedicated in 1962 while John F. Kennedy was president. J. Edward Day as postmaster general and H. W. Brawley as deputy postmaster general.

Thanks for reading,

David W. Gates Jr.
