Celebrating our Nation's Post Offices
Wisconsin Post Offices
ADDRESS: N7140 Honey Creek Rd., Honey Creek, Wisconsin 53138
I visited the Honey Creek Wisconsin Post Office on March 13. I was on a road trip for the day and was trying to stop at several post offices. I really liked the personal “home” feel of this post office. The lobby is nicely decorated and has a sled hanging on the wall above the post office boxes.
Thanks,

I was not expecting this type of building when I first spotted the Avalon Wisconsin post office. Everything I had seen today was either a nice brick building or a newer building and newer signage. It was kind of refreshing to see the old sign and multi-use building. It was getting late in the day so this was a quick stop.
This one really reminded me of the Amberg, WI post office. I think its interesting how I’m naturally starting to categorize the buildings in my mind since I’ve started this photo collection.
Thanks,

After talking to the man I met at the Rochester, Wisconsin post office I had to stop here. When I was talking to this local guy he mentioned the Springfield Post Office was in a trailer. I really could not picture in my mind what this would look like. I was thinking a little trailer next to someone’s house or something to that effect. Little did I know this was one very large fancy trailer.
Newer post offices like this don’t seem to have the character of older buildings. But I went inside and met the postmaster. I explained I was looking for murals and the reason I was talking pictures. I’m glad went inside because I found what I think is the newest dedication plaque I have ever seen. Apparently this post office was dedicated in 2000, which is the newest one I have personally seen. Just another example of why I like to take pictures and visit during normal business hours. I don’t think I would have learned this if I had visited during non business hours.
Thanks,
