History
2
The second Long Leaf post office was built during the 1918-20 expansion and originally stood across the railroad tracks from this spot. On the other side of the tracks were also a hotel, barber shop, and doctor's office. The barber shop and hotel disappeared in the 1950's, but the post office and doctor's office remained. In 2009, the post office was relocated to this site to preserve the building, while the doctor's office remains in the woods off of the museum grounds. When the town was active, the tennis court was located on this spot.
