The Wellston post office is a stand alone structure of red brick, with two bands of light colored brick encircling it. There is no signage on the building itself, but the town name is shown on a metal pillar out front.

A post office has been located in Wellston since September 19, 1884. The area was originally part of the Old Kickapoo Reservation. The town is named for Christian T. Wells, who opened a trading post on the reservation in the early 1880s. The area was opened for white settlement with the Land Run of May 23, 1895. It currently serves a town with a population of 777.

The post office is located at 401 2nd Street and is open Mon-Fri from 8:30 - 4:15. It is open for one hour on Saturday from 9-10:00.

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.
