A History of Postmasters & Postal Delivery in Calhoun County
Manage episode 328721175 series 3325720
In this episide I explore a history of postmasters and postal delivery in Calhoun County from mostly the 1800's to early 1900's. I cover the original founding of the post offices in Albion, Marshall and Battle Creek, and their postmasters and early delivery systems. Did you know the first post office Marshall was a cigar box? The second one was even more interesting with it being a clock! I also talk about formation of the postal service on a national level, as well as the Marshall post office museum and the pony express.
