📬📨📭How far would you travel to get your mail?

This week in Weatherly History...

'A post office was opened in Buck Mountain on July 1, 1888, and James McGinty was named postmaster and Lewis Krammer, mail carrier. It closed on April 15, 1902. Patrons then had to pick up their mail at Weatherly, Rockport or Eckley.

Rural Free Delivery Route #2 started from Weatherly to Lowrytown and Buck Mountain on June 1, 1904.' -John S Koehler

Today delivery systems are much quicker compared to 120+years ago. But of course USPS has some healthy competition.📭📨📪

If you enjoyed that interesting fact about our communities history take a trip down to our community museum this weekend. We will be open today from 1-4pm and Sunday from 1-4pm as well.
