The Story of Forrester's Post Office

Even though Forrester is a small place, it once had its own post office. This post office was very important for the people living there. It helped them send and receive mail, connecting them to the outside world. The post office officially opened on June 8, 1915.

However, the post office didn't stay open for very long. It closed its doors on February 14, 1922. This means it was only active for about seven years. Many small communities in the early 20th century saw their post offices open and close as populations shifted.
