West Virgina Post Offices

ADDRESS: 1010 W. Washington St.,Harpers Ferry, West Virgina 25425

I didn’t realize how difficult it would be to find this one on the USPS website. When I entered the zip code 25424 I get results pointing to Charles Town and not Harpers Ferry.

Anyway my initial visit to this post office was the summer of 2007. As I was hiking the Appalachian Trail I stopped here for a much-needed break. Since Harpers Ferry is also the headquarters of the Appalachian Trail Conservancy I also wanted to visit the main office and say hello. I was delighted to visit and glad I stopped by. Looking at the trail register and seeing who else was hiking that year was really fun.

Since documenting my visits was less of a priority back then I only have the two photos. Funny how I must have incorrectly set the timer on my camera. The photograph below is a nice shot of me walking away. I could make up something like “I just wanted an action shot” but I’d figure you would just think that was goofy. Good thing you don’t see my large beard from not shaving all summer.

Thanks for stopping by
