Dedicated in 1961, this is a spotless post office with some retro wood paneling and cool post boxes. They have a greeting card stand, a well stocked supply area, a clean desk and information bulletin board, along with a colorful "paper quilt" that looks like it was colored by some local school students.

It was built in 1922 and it's a historical landmark in the tiny little town!! It looks like it was remodeled in the 70's with all the wood paneling and linoleum floors inside, but the outside in pure country! I love the white exterior with the green gables and the wooden and brick columns! The clerk was super sweet and gave me a bit of history about the place and the area! The population is about 400, and it's just a hop, skip, and a jumó from Deltaville. This is the kind of post office I love to find, one with character and a story! Hours M-F 12-4, Sat. 9-12:30

And while it's super nice on the outside, with a proud sign posted in front, handicap accessible, etc., it was pretty dirty on the inside. Trash on the floor and overflowing receptacles, nasty rug askew, paint chipping off the cinder block wall, weird stained wood paneling at the top of the building and light fixtures in need of repair, were only some of the off putting aspects of this ill-cared for government post office. It smelled awfully musty, which someone tried to remedy by placing a couple of those gross solid air fresheners on the counter and shelf... but to no avail, the musty odor overpowered those pitiful, unsightly blobs of wax. I hope someone gives this post office a desperately needed facelift, because it's too cute to let go. It could really be an adorable post office with some TLC. The hours of operation were reduced due to low staffing... Monday & Friday 12-4, Tuesday & Thursday 12-2, Saturday 10-1. Zip code 22517

It is bursting with red, white and blue everywhere! There are patriotic gnomes, teddy bears, hearts, dogs, flowers, garland, wreaths and banners everywhere!

It's very festive so one can't help but appreciate the post master's style and dedication to this otherwise run-of-the-mill government facility. Kudos to you postmaster! Keep your flags flying!

Deltaville - Another run of the mill looking brick post office, but it's immaculate inside and has…read moregreat customer service. Located in this quiet river town, this post office serves less than 900 folks and is considered a "census-designated place" according to the census bureau. Surrounded by water, you'll see marinas, boatyards, and bait shops all around this unincorporated community. This laid back hamlet has few restaurants and shops, and is super chill on Mondays with only a few businesses open. We had to drive to Kilmarnock to get a bite to eat! The post office has the typical postal services, but no passport service. There's a drive by drop off mailbox along the parking lot. Patricia Hall is listed as the postmaster of this small post office that caters to the local sailing/boating/fishing and water loving folks in this low key vacation town.

I'm not a…read morehuge historian, but it was quite remarkable to see the part of the country that has been preserved and restored to match the original colonies. We got to see a barrel being made, a cannon being fired (dry fired), a court session, and lots of buildings and other historical items. The person I was with has been here a few times and said they have options to stay on site and also there are several very good places to eat. Would be a great place for the family or yourself if you want a piece of Americas history.

Colonial Williamsburg should be so much easier to visit than it is…read more We visited as a family and were really looking forward to the experience, but left disappointed largely because the wayfinding is so poor. The printed map is surprisingly difficult to use, directional signage is inadequate, and it is often unnecessarily hard to work out where you are and how to get to the next attraction or program. And it wasn't just us. I lost count of how many visitors we saw standing staring at maps, apparently trying to figure out where to go next. This was especially frustrating because someone in our party has limited mobility following recent surgery. Walking several hundred yards in the wrong direction isn't just an inconvenience in that situation. In 2026, a major attraction covering an area this large should have proper smartphone navigation. You should be able to select "Governor's Palace," a particular program, restaurant, restroom, or bus stop and get GPS walking directions from your current location, along with distance, accessibility information, and estimated walking time. Better physical directional signs are badly needed as well. There is so much history here and clearly an enormous amount of work goes into preserving and interpreting it. The problem is finding it. Colonial Williamsburg could be a wonderful visitor experience. Unfortunately, today we spent far too much time trying to figure out where we were and where we were supposed to go. This is a very fixable problem, and I hope they fix it.

Topping Post Office is tops with me! An unassuming little government building that is handicap…read moreaccessible. The postmaster,Cindy Carter, gave me a hearty welcome and gave me some history of this diminutive post office. According to her, it was built some 40 years ago and you can tell she takes pride in her job. The lobby was in tip top shape, with the shipping supplies well stocked. There was a note posted saying that customers with P.O. Boxes needed to use their keys to gather their mail, rather than going to the counter and asking for it. On the front desk, they were some rather worn but nifty thick zip code books! Also displayed were a wide variety of postage stamps! A good reminder of what constitutes media mail was posted on the wall. There used to be a copier in the lobby, but it's since been removed. This post office is open from 7:30-11:30, 1:30:4:30 M-F, 8:15-11:15 Sat. The hours are a bit unusual from other post offices. No passport service. This location serves approximately 1,400 residents.
