A Glimpse into Lincolnville's Past

Lincolnville has a simple but interesting history. One important part of its past was its post office. A post office is a place where people can send and receive mail. The one in Lincolnville opened its doors in 1865. This was a time when mail was a very important way for people to communicate across distances. The post office served the community for many years, helping residents stay connected. However, it eventually closed down in 1907. Even though it's gone, the memory of the post office is part of Lincolnville's story.
