Folsom is a village in Union County, New Mexico, United States. The current population (2005): approximately 80.
The Cartoon Network series Cow and Chicken takes place in Folsom (though this is only mentioned in the show two or three times).
The Folsom area is one of the most beautiful and interesting in Northern New Mexico.

The village is located in a valley by the Dry Cimarron River. Mount Capulin, an extinct volcano and national park, is about 7 miles to the southwest. Visitors can drive to the top of Mount Capulin and walk around the rim while enjoying the spectacular view.

The town began its decline after the flood of 1908 washed away most of the town, killing 17 people.
The town was named Folsom to honor the maiden name of Frances Folsom. Ms. Folsom married President Grover Cleveland while he was in office.

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.
