Welcome to part 5 in our 6 part series featuring the Sheboygan Wisconsin Post Office. There is a lot to see here and I felt it was important to showcase each mural on its own. So I’ve decided to create 6 separate post, one for each of the murals and one for the building and artifacts.
Sit back relax and enjoy part 5 of our 6 part series feature the Sheboygan Wisconsin Post Office. And by all means, if you have a comments, suggestion or additional information about this wonderful post office, we’d love to hear your comments below.
Stay tuned for part 6 in our series, “Present City” .
Thanks,
David W. Gates Jr.
