Mountain Creek Post Office

This late nineteenth century building began as Gray & Speer's store and originally stood less than a mile south near the South & North Railroad, later L&N and present day CSX. Around 1906 it was converted into the Mountain Creek post office. Veterans from the Alabama Confederate Soldiers' Home walked or rode in the Soldiers' Home mule-drawn surrey to the post office almost every day. The U.S. Postal Service decommissioned the post office in December 1975. Its last postmaster, Mr. C.C. Kicker, Jr, donated the building to Confederate Memorial Park, and it was moved to this site in March 1988.
