Salunga Post Office

The Salunga Post Office was part of Hiestand’s Store on Main Street in Salunga. The post office closed on April 30, 1960. The Eastern Mennonite Missions located at 53 West Brandt Boulevard, Salunga, operated the post office. Upon closing in the late 1980’s they dismantled it and donated it to the Amos Herr House Foundation and Historical Society on May 18, 2000 where it was stored in the corn crib until 2017. The board members checked the dimensions of the post office and basement and a decision was made to move the Salunga Post Office into Emma’s Keeping Room located in the basement of the 1852 Amos Herr House.where it is now on display.
