East < GO > West

The old post office is located on Market St. between Wichita Ave. and Broadway. But that's not where it started out. At some point early on in the towns history there was a dispute of sorts between those on the east and west sides of town over water. Apparently as a result the folks on the east side decided picking the post office up and moving it to this spot was a good idea. At least that's the commonly told story. What moving the post office had to do with the water issue is beyond me.

x About Us We started traveling Historic U.S. Route 66 as a destination in 2009. It's like a 2,400 mile long drive back in time from Chicago to Santa Monica! more
xDid You Know: Many parts of the old 4 lane Route 66 were reverted to a 2 lane road after 66 was realigned to the interstate. In many places the abandoned lanes are still there.
