Old Post Office

The home at 4258 Route 21 South, the corner of Goodale Road, was the Cheshire Post Office in the late 19th and early 20th century. A shop for dressmaking, sewing and hooked rugs, operated by other members of Postmaster Sibley Nott’s family, shared the building. Before rural delivery, area residents had to visit the post office to get their mail. A long porch with comfortable rocking chairs made this a fine spot to gather and hear the news of the day.
