Founded in 1862 by stage manager Jack Slade and named for his wife, Virginia Dale was a popular stop along the Overland Trail. In the 1870's the area was settled and took the name of the famous stage stop. The community included a school, church and post office. This post office and cafe operated into the 1990's when it was closed and boarded up. The area is now served by the Livermore post 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.
