Hello Friends, last Sunday we took an adventure to find the castle that is dedicated to rural letter carriers of Dunn County, Wisconsin.
We found the castle. We drove up, up and up a curvy one lane road. It was a very windy day and you can see in the photo above I captured a leaf blowing in the wind.
My grandma Martha was a rural mail carrier in Price County, Wisconsin. I would ride with her on her route when I was a little girl. She was friends with most of the people she delivered mail to on her route. I enjoyed riding along with my grandma Martha on her route, she delivered mail for 40 years, in all kinds of Wisconsin weather.
I loved the fact that back in 1938 people thought it important to honor rural mail carriers.
A few fun facts about the castle.
The castle is the only tribute to rural mail carriers in the country.
It is on the registry of haunted sights in Wisconsin.
The castle was well kept, no graffiti or other noticeable vandalizing.
Perhaps the ghosts spook those who would want to do harm to the castle.
We have much more of Wisconsin to discover.. stay tuned.
How fun you got to help your grandma deliver everyone's mail. Happy Friday. We are off to Michigan. Hugs. Kris
ReplyDeleteWhat a great history to learn about, including your personal connection to a mail carrier. How neat! That mail carriers were honored is really cool and in what a unique and neat way. So glad that there is no graffiti on site.
ReplyDeleteThis is so neat and a great tribute to your grandmother. I can just see you riding with her, delivering mail and maybe having a snack or two.
