Smallest U S Post Office Sells War Bonds in Remote Grimshawes
Grimshawes, the United States smallest post office in N C, runs a fourth class log cabin office where postmistress Lena T. Alexander and her late husband served a scattered mountain community. She promotes War Bond sales to summer boarders and distant families, drawing postmark interest from across Chicago and New York, while the post office remains in the Alexander yard with dogs, chickens, a safe, and an outdoor writing shelf. Established 74 years ago, the office lacks a fountain but offers a spring nearby.
