The United States Post Office in Herculaneum, Missouri, is located at 1234 Commercial Boulevard (U S Highway 61-67). The post office was moved to this building in 1986 from the area of what was once the town's downtown business district. The building has not been changed in the 23 years that the post office has been located here. The history of the United States Post Office dates back to 1811 when the first post office in Jefferson County was opened in Herculaneum. The original post office continued to exist until 1858. In 1890, the post office was re-established and has continued to be in operation ever since. From 1890 to the present, the Herculaneum Post Office has been located in five different buildings. All four of the previous locations (before the move to the present location) were within a 500 foot radius of each other.

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.
