The Kimmswick Post Office Restoration Project
The Historic City of Kimmswick has a charming little Post Office and it is one of Kimmswick's most beloved places. A United States Post Office has been in continuous operation in the City of Kimmswick since 1858, making it one of the longest standing United States Postal Service operations in Missouri.
 
The Post Office building was held under the stewardship of Lucianna Gladney-Ross who, in December 2010, donated the building to the City of Kimmswick. The building needs lots of work and the goal of the City of Kimmswick is to maintain that Norman Rockwell look and feel once the renovation is completed. It is going to be a long and hard project for which we are appealing to your hearts for support. Please come and see this wonderful little Post Office and please help preserve it by donating today.
