Post Offices near Yale, VA

“The Stony Creek post office has been around since the 1950's and the postmaster gave me some background of this small town hub of the community. The Masons built this structure and their insignia is displayed atop of the building. Not much else is nearby save a bank, the railroad tracks, a small park featuring a commemorative cannon, and a few other buildings and shops. It's such a tiny but friendly town! The postmaster and I talked about the price of stamps going up to $.60, and she said soon to be $.63, to which I responded that I still find it fascinating that the postal service can send a letter from one place to another for even that small price... I'll happily use the mail system for my letters, bills, thank you cards and greeting cards! The art of letter writing isn't dead after all!Hours: M-F 8:00-12:30, 1:30-4:30, Saturday 9:30-11:30.”

“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.”

“This building is so cool!! Dating back to the 1800's, this post office delivers! Well, it used to! What a beautiful work of architectural charm! The Drewryville post office became damaged when a fire in an adjacent building caught fire in 2018. Plans to renovate and reopen the post office have been underway since and I'm sure the 750+ residents would love to see this historic landmark refurbished soon. There's been some indication that a new building may house the post office, but it would be a shame to move it from this beloved spot. If you get a chance to come to this small town, you'll want to take the time to visit this unique structure. We loved peering through the windows at the antique fixtures, the brass mailboxes, the marble counters... incredible. Post offices services are temporarily being offered at a small mobile van across the street from this building. It has minimal hours and it's rather inconvenient to the residents. Here's hoping this post office rises from the ashes and returns to its epic former glory!”
