“I love finding these small town post offices tucked away in tiny corners of the world! The Sussex Post Office is one such find! Sussex has a population of about 250 people, and it's estimated that about 150 packages goes through this post office annually. It's next to Thornton's General Store which has been in operation since 1913 and the lady who owns the store, Louise Thornton, certainly has a history tied to this area! She said her father Thomas Thornton was postmaster there from 1937-1979! Then her brother, Morgan Thornton, became postmaster from 1979-2014. The love of the mail service runs in her family! She operates the local store full of knick knacks and bric-a-brac. You've got to check out both the post office and the general store! The postmaster is now a nice young man named Mario, who was super cordial and efficient. The hours are M-F 12:45-4:45, Sat 8:30-12:30. No passport service at this little charming post office.”
