Love this village of Carson, population about 1400. We stumbled upon this community on our way to emporia! It's adorable! The post office is past the railroad tracks, but we tooled around to check out the library, the caboose, the historic cannon, the farm house, Halligan Park and the sprawling Victorian home. But of course for me, the post office was the main attraction!
Rachel, the clerk running the show was extremely pleasant and welcoming! She gave me some history of the village, telling me that there used to be a general store with a post office here! It has since burned down, but she had some vintage photos of the previous post office on the wall (see photos). She had a huge binder of collectible stamps, and I purchased about $100 worth! So many fun stamps! Even a jeopardy sheet with Alex trebeck and actual answers!
I wanted some post cards too, but they were out so next time for sure! I'll pop by this cute spot again when I'm in the neighborhood because it's too pristine and nice to pass up!
