A Glimpse into Reeve's Past
Reeve might be small today, but it has a bit of history! Over a hundred years ago, it was a more active place.
The Old Post Office
A post office was opened in Reeve in 1898. This was a very important place back then. People would go there to send and receive letters. It was also a way for people to connect with the outside world. The post office served the community for about 15 years. It closed its doors in 1913.
Local Stores
Besides the post office, Reeve also had two country stores. These stores were like the local shopping centers of their time. People could buy food, tools, and other things they needed for daily life. These stores were important gathering spots for the community. They helped people get what they needed without traveling far.
