America's Smallest Post Office in Ochopee, Florida





Eric & I drove 37 miles east
from Shark Valley to Ochopee 
to see America's smallest 
Post Office.






I have to tell you, I was skeptical...  The Post Offices in Langtry, Texas and Chicken, Alaska are really small.





The Ochopee Post Office is
the tool shed on a local
 tomato farm.











This tiny building was "pressed into service" after a fire in 1953 destroyed the Ochopee General Store and Post Office.  

As the saying goes, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."





Postal services & bus
tickets for Trailways
sold here.













.... And now you've seen
the rest of the Post
Office.











This is one of the reasons I love travelling....  Finding oddities.... like the smallest Post Office in America.
