Jackson Montana Post Office

ADDRESS: 1 Jardine St., Jackson, Montana 59736

Talk about small town post office? Well here’s one for ya! Smack dab in the middle of Jackson is where it’s at. I think this is someone’s home so I tried to be discrete when I was photographing. I was trying not to be that creepy paparazzi guy peaking inside people’s windows trying to catch people off guard. That is the reason for the street view of this photo.

I read somewhere that when the post office was growing in the earl turn of the century the post office was often times in people’s homes. This most often occurs in small out-of-the-way towns. I’m guessing Jackson Montana just never grew big enough to build its own stand alone post office building. I’m also guessing but have not confirmed that this must also be the postmasters house. Very cool, I can only imagine the neighborhood conversations that have occurred over the years in this nice quiet small town post office.

And that my friends is how is happens when you’re on the road.

Thanks,
