Rural Free Delivery Wagon Trial Begins in Maryland
On April 3, 1899 a rural free delivery experiment started in Carroll County Maryland near Washington. A postal wagon designed by Edwin Shriver carried mail to homes in a well settled agricultural area, aiming to avoid travel to the post office and testing the feasibility of doorstep delivery. The program began with a cost of 505 per annum for operation and support.
