Pioneer Village (Utah) - Post Office

Post Office

The Post office was built in Charleston, Wasatch County, Utah in 1905 and operated until 1955. Today it contains the original postmaster's desk and dozens of postal boxes, each with their own combination lock. Like most rural towns in Utah, Charleston did not have mail delivery until recently, so residents would have to come to the post office to pick up their letters.

    A demanding stranger arrived one morning in a small town and asked a boy on the sidewalk of the main street, ‘Boy, where’s the post office?’

    ‘Well, then, where might the drugstore be?’
    ‘I don’t know.’
    ‘How about a good cheap hotel?’
