- JSJeff SchmidtSep 21, 20255.0This site shows the old Historic post office instead of the new one dedicated in 1988 (according to the plaque on the wall.) It reads: The Washington Post Office is the oldest continuous postal facility in Arkansas, having been established as Hempstead Courthouse Post Office, Arkansas Territory, February 23, 1820. This building provided by the Pioneer Washington Foundation - Arkansas's oldest Preservation group - was dedicated May 29, 1988, by U.S. Senator David Pryor. The old white Historic Post Office is a block behind this one.
- JAJason ArmstrongApr 13, 20245.0Got to visit the oldest continues operating Post Office in Arkansas. The Washington PO was established in the Arkansas Territory in 1820. The current building was built in 1988 but the old PO is still out back and down the street.
