Index to the RURAL POST OFFICES of

MISSOURI

These were usually small “post offices” located in a farmer’s home or out building. They served folks in outlying farming areas, and often acted as a community center or gathering place to catch up on the latest gossip or commodity prices. Many times the rural post offices also acted as a magnet for a small community that later faded away, or grew into busy little towns.
