In 1998, the post office moved to a dedicated facility for the first time in its 125-year-old history. After sharing space with homes, general stores, a drug store, and a bank, services were relocated to a new modular building, one of 10 which opened that year for postal use. Constructed by a Kansas firm at a cost of $100,000, the new space offered handicapped accessibility, efficient heating and cooling, and layouts designed especially for sorting and distributing mail.
