Event Type

The old Mandarin Store and Post Office is located a mile past the Mandarin Museum at 12471 Mandarin Road. The store and the post office have a rich history which is on display inside, and well worth a visit! It is open the first Saturday of the month.

The Mandarin Store and Post Office evokes memories of small town and village general stores across America. It was the hub of village life from 1911 until it closed in 1964. It sold everything from canned goods from South America, to meat, animal feed, fish, cold soda, and penny candy. It was a favorite for area children because the school bus stopped out front. The original proprietor and postmaster was Walter Jones. His daughter, Miss Agnes (Aggie) Jones, took over when he died in 1928.

Also open for viewing is the Schoolhouse, at the Museum property, 11964 Mandarin Road.
