During the 1870's and 80's, this building served as a community post office. The building has been restored and displays "pigeon holes" which are compartments used to sort the mail.

The building on the right is a smoke house. It dates back to the 1850's and was used for curing meats. Smoking and salt curing were the primary sources for preserving meats during this time period.
