During my summer vacation with my son we headed to Mammoth Cave National Park. Along the way we also stopped to enjoy some historic, beautiful post offices. This one from Greenville is well maintained.

The additional historic photographs of the building are a nice treat and made this trip extra special.

I love the green copper roof and how it has aged. Definitely a signature element to the beauty of this building. I’m a bit disappointed they landscaped over the cornerstone, but hopefully someone will notice and make the whole thing visible again.

If you missed our guest post from Roger, he also visited this one which we wrote about here.

Thanks,

Another Awesome guest post from Roger, and our first Kentucky, Mural here for Post Office Fans.

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.

Roger
