A post office was first established here in 1891 at the time the town was settled during the Land Run. The original townsite consisted of 320 acres, 20 of which were delegated to the Society of Friends (Quakers). They established a mission here to the local Indians, and a frame mission church still stands just south of town.
Tecumseh was the county seat from Statehood in 1907 until 1930, when a skirmish resulted and the county seat was moved to Shawnee.

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.
