Hey everyone!
So I've been researching some places to go and find theres a lot of old post offices dotted through the county on my old maps. Has anyone ever hunted an old post office spot? I imagine there'd be a lot of stuff to be found being there was constant traffic around there! People had to lose stuff getting their mail! Kansas has a website that has records of every post office ever established in the state. From the exact day it opened to the exact day it closed/ceased to exist, which I think is pretty cool and handy! A lot of these range from the 1850s to the very early 1900s. Some were only open a few years others are still in operation! I was just curious if anyone has ever hunted one and if it was worthwhile or productive. Im still gonna try and get permission for some just to see for myself.
