This was the smallest Post Office in the United States in 2002.. A new building was established across the street, but this Post Office still remains... It is 7.5' x 10.5'. It really is cute!!!

I usually don't give such low scoring unless it truly warrants it. This post office used to be open several hours per day several days per week. It seems like since the pandemic, the hours have been drastically reduced. It's now open just long enough for the postmaster to pass out the mail and that's all and it's not a set time either. It's made it very difficult for the people of Muddy to do their business. And the next closest post office is even worse. They're very short-handed and staff is spread thin. BUT-the office is ALWAYS clean and clear of clutter. Our mail does get passed out correctly.
