A Special Schoolhouse

The name "Palace" has an interesting story! In 1909, a post office was opened here, serving the local residents. A post office is where you send and receive mail.

The people who lived in this area thought their schoolhouse was very special. It was such a nice building that they called it a "palace." That's how the community got its unique name. The post office stayed open until 1957. The old Palace School is no longer in use today.
