1887 Post Office, Northeast Florida

In this video, I take a journey back through time and visit what remains of the Old Post Office in Interlachen, Florida, circa 1887. Interestingly, Majorie Kinnan Rawlings, famous author of southern literature and winner of the Pulitzer Prize in 1939, once sat on the second floor and watched the people go by. Local historian, Mary Lou Dawson, explains how Rawlings discovered a character for one of her novels by her frequent visits to the old post office.
