The town of Lexington has a colorful history. First settled in 1835 with trading post and Indian camp, the town was later established after the Land Run of 1889. A post office was established in 1890. With dozens of saloons, it was known as a "whiskey town" before 1907 when Oklahoma became a dry state. Lexington is named after Lexington, KY. It is located on Highway 77, just east of Purcell, and is home to the Joseph Harp Correctional Center.

This post office is a beige brick one-story building with a flat roof, located at 115 N.E. 2nd Street. The glass entry door and sidelights are slightly recessed. The post office counters are open Mon-Fri from 8:30-4:30 and on Sat from 10:00-11:00. The lobby and post office boxes are available 24/7.

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.
