Message Board Post:

Nashville's post office will be celebrating 150 years of existence in February 2007. I am currently compiling old newspaper articles about the post office and recollections from postal employees.

I also would like to have pictures of the former postmasters. Many of the postmasters were part of pioneer families of the county, so preserving this heritage is important to me. A list of Nashville Postmasters appears below. If you have photos of the postmaster from the approximate time he/she would have held that position, please submit them at the Berrien County Smug Mug website: http://berriencounty.smugmug.com/
