Welcome to part 6 of our 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 articles, one for each of the murals and one for the building and artifacts.
Sit back relax and enjoy the final series featuring 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.
Thanks,
David W. Gates Jr.
