Lots going on with this featured post office of the day. As I mentioned yesterday my initial research indicated the Kaukauna post office was an older WPA era building. And yes, I did eventually find the former building. Today I bring you the newer Kaukauna, Wisconsin Post Office complete with dedication plaque and mural from the old building. Exciting stuff, take a look
Thanks,
