Kinderhook Post Office is in a small town in west central Illinois close to the Mississippi River.
The thing that is unique about this post office is that it's exterior walls and the small wall in front of it is made up of several different items.
Items it is made of include rock, geodes, marbles, spoons, electric insulators, american indian artifacts, petrified wood, early 1900's bottles and so much more.
You have to see it to appreciate it.
The building and walls were built between 1928;1932.
I believe it was a private building and later was purchased by the Fed to become this post office.
Very Cool!!

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.
