A hand-painted raccoon adorns the front window of this small, brick Post Office in downtown Lime Springs in Howard County, Iowa. Located on the well-maintained Main Street, the Post Office serves the community’s 495 residents. Lime Springs is known in Northeast Iowa for its annual Sweet Corn Festival, held the third Saturday in August, along with the nearby Lidtke Mill, one of the few remaining examples of a working flour mill in the state. The mill is open to visitors between Memorial Day and Labor Day.
