Did you know that Sebastian County once had 32 post offices? This is one of many interesting facts you'll discover at the Museum's Post Office exhibit.
Many thanks to Vernon Stewart, Homer Dillard and Brenda Pryor for the loan of their personal postal memorabilia during the 2010 Museum season. The postal exhibit featured old photos, information about and articles belonging to Greenwood and South Sebastian County postmasters and letter carriers, including photos of the first known letter carrier in the county and fascinating early carriers such as Lavaca's Joe Carruth.
Pictured are (left to right): Vernon Stewart, Homer Dillard and Brenda Pryor. Vernon is the son of former Greenwood Postmaster Haltom Stewart. Homer is a former letter carrier. Brenda is the daughter of former Greenwood Postmaster Earl Pryor. They all have shared many memories with the community through their loans to this exhibit.
Last chance to see this exhibit is Thursday-Saturday this week. The last day of operation for 2010 is Saturday, October 30.
