Minnesota post offices

Lutsen Minnesota Post Office

March 25, 2013 By David W. Gates Jr.

Lutsen MN Post Office 55612
Lutsen MN Post Office 55612

ADDRESS: 5321 W. Highway 61, Lutsen, Minnesota 55612

We drove through Lutsen on our why to Grand Portage. I had to stop and take a picture. This was another funny moment. As I was standing in front of the building a man drove up, parked, smiled and said something like “I bet that’s the smallest post office you’ve seen” I laughed and took my picture.

Little did he know that this is not the smallest I’ve seen or the funniest moment. This is fun, I thought to myself. I need to think of a funny response for moments like this.

Thanks,

David W. Gates Jr.

Grand Portage Minnesota Post Office

October 6, 2012 By David W. Gates Jr.

Grand Portage MN Post Office 55605

ADDRESS: 77 Mile Creek Rd., Grand Portage, Minnesota 55605

Grand Portage was our destination for our May 2012 Isle Royale hike. The Voyager II is docked here and the main ferry to the island. Grand Portage is a small compact town complete with a casino. No, sadly I did not visit the casino on this trip. I’m not much of a gambler.

Thanks,

Former Duluth Minnesota Post Office & Custom House

October 5, 2012 By David W. Gates Jr.

Duluth (Former) MN Post Office 55802
Duluth (Former) MN Post Office 55802

ADDRESS: 515 W. 1st St., Duluth, Minnesota 55802

So the inscription on this building indicate this was at one time the Post Office, Court House and Customs House.  The building is very large. As I walked around I found the entrance labeled US Post Office.

Does anyone else have any more information on this one? I know very little about it. Is it still used as a post office? The address and location still shows up on the USPS website but there is no other indication that this one is still in use.

Thanks,

David W. Gates Jr.
