Located in northern Brookings County, South Dakota, Bruce had a population of 262 in July 2007, a 3% decrease from the 2000 Census.

The town was incorporated on August 12, 1861 and is made up of German, Norwegian, Dutch, Irish, Danish, and Swedish ancestries.

Bruce is about 15 minutes away from Brookings, SD, and about 5 minutes away from Oakwood Lakes, a great fishing area.

This post office was abandoned a number of years ago in favor of a new, modern facility.

It still stands on Main Street in Bruce.

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.
