Located off the beaten path in south east Sanborn County, Letcher had a population of about 175 in the 2000 census.

Rossy Park is located next to Letcher Lake (just north of Main Street) and has a volleyball net, basketball court, and horseshoe pit for your enjoyment. There is lots of shade, plus benches and a picnic shelter. Additions include a grill, fire pit, playground equipment, and new bathrooms in the area in the very near future. Letcher Lake is just feet away and a great place to put your canoe in.

Memorial Park is right next to the library on Main Street and was dedicated during the 125th celebration in 2007. Since its establishment, a clock in memory of Bill Jamison was donated, as well as a park bench in memory of Catherine Rudd. A beautiful brick area has been built at the base of the clock and hopefully someday will expand to a path to the bench area.

The Letcher Community Center is located at 104 E. Main Street. It is utilized by many local organizations on a regular basis, including the Letcher Town Board, Tormey-Stach Legion and Auxiliary, Letcher Volunteer Fire Department, and the Letcher Senior Citizens who play cards on Wednesday afternoons at 1:00 p.m. The building may also be rented by private parties for any occasion. It has a wonderful kitchen, tables, chairs and extra refrigeration for large gatherings.

Visit Instructions:
To post a log to an existing U.S. Post Office waymark, you will need to post a picture of the front of the building, with the name of the post office in the background if that is possible.

A description of your Post Office is required, such as when it was built, history, outstanding or unique features, population of the city or town, just do a quick internet search and find an interesting bit of information about the city or town and add it to the long description, to make it more interesting. Even just adding in the population of the area can give others an idea of how many people this post office serves. This description should be at least three sentences.

If your Post Office has any unusual or unique features that you feel others would enjoy viewing, additional pictures are always welcome.
Including your gps device in the picture is not necessary, but wouldn't be cause for disapproval, as long as all other details of your log are acceptable.
