Greenwood Post Office was constructed in 1913 and at one time also contained a Customs House. Although we visited it while closed, there was access to the inside postal boxes and it was like stepping back through time when you entered the building. There were original postal boxes along with modern ones. The wickets for the postal clerks along with the old postal boxes were made of brass and well polished.

Visit Instructions:
To post a log to an existing Canada Post waymark, you will need to post a unique picture of the Canada Post sign. Including your gps device in the picture is not neccesary, but wouldn't be cause for disapproval, as long as all other details of your log are acceptable.
