Ardmore, Oklahoma is the county seat for Carter County. It was one of the largest cities in the Indian Territory when the land was brought into the Oklahoma Territory and eventual statehood in 1907. The older post office built in 1915, was combined with a Federal Courthouse. As transportation modes changed to more automobile traffic, the need for a newer post office and consolidations reduced need for so many Federal Courthouses, and this newer post office was built in town and the courthouse was decommissioned.

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.
