About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, an elderly gentleman approached the counter and asked the postmaster with a twinkle in his eye: ‘Do you know why they call it Highland?’ The postmaster smiled and replied, 'Oh yes, sir! Because it's located high up on the hill!' The old man nodded wisely and said, 'Ah, so that's why my letters always take forever to reach their destination!' They both laughed heartily, and the elderly gentleman left, whistling a merry tune.

2. One day, a delivery driver pulled up to the Highland Post Office and shouted, ‘Hey, anyone seen my package? It’s got wings!’ Inside, an old lady looked up from her knitting and said, 'Honey, it's not supposed to have wings—maybe you delivered it to the bird sanctuary by mistake?' Everyone burst out laughing, including the confused delivery driver, who left with a newfound respect for the quirks of small-town life.

3. One afternoon, a neighbor walked into the Highland Post Office and asked curiously, ‘Why does every letter here seem to be addressed to “Dear Friend”?’ The clerk smiled mysteriously and replied, 'Well, it's because everyone in these parts is our dear friend!' A delivery driver overheard and added with a laugh, 'And if they aren't, they'll sure become one after getting their mail here.' The neighbor shook his head, smiling, and left, wondering if perhaps he should start addressing his own letters that way.

4. One day, a delivery driver pulled up to the Highland Post Office and noticed something peculiar on the parking lot: a mysterious package wrapped in old newspaper, left unattended. The delivery driver picked it up curiously, thinking maybe someone forgot it. As he opened the package, out popped an old letter addressed to ‘the next person who finds this’. Inside was a note saying: “Welcome to our secret club of curious souls!” Turns out, every now and then, neighbors would leave small packages with quirky notes for whoever stumbled upon them.
