About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar on the bulletin board inside Beaumont Post Office. It read: ‘Last one to pick up their package must buy coffee for everyone.’ Since then, every afternoon around closing time, someone would leave with an extra cup. Finally, one day an elderly gentleman arrived late and grumbled, ‘Why do I always forget?’ With a smile, he bought ten cups of coffee—one for each employee. The tradition lives on in Beaumont Post Office, where even the newest staff member knows never to be the last to claim their mail.

2. In the early afternoon, a postal clerk was sorting through letters when she spotted an envelope addressed simply to ‘The Lucky One.’ She opened it curiously—inside was a single folded note saying, ‘Congratulations! You’re today’s lucky winner of… nothing!’ Everyone had a good laugh, and from then on, whenever someone received an unusual letter, they’d joke that Beaumont’s post office had a secret lottery.

3. In the late afternoon, a neighbor approached the counter and asked the clerk with a straight face: ‘Excuse me, ma’am, but where can I mail my letter to Santa Claus?’ The clerk smiled gently and replied, 'Oh, dear sir, you can send it here, of course. But just so you know, Beaumont doesn't get snow—maybe you'd better consider mailing it from somewhere up north!' The neighbor nodded thoughtfully and left, muttering something about checking the weather forecast.

4. In the middle of the night, a delivery driver parked his truck outside Beaumont Post Office and noticed an unusual package wrapped in brown paper near the loading dock. Curious, he picked it up and saw that it was addressed to ‘Santa Claus, Beaumont Post Office.’ Inside was a note from a child asking for a new bicycle. Smiling, he drove back home, swapped the package with one from his own kid’s wish list, and left it there before dawn. A few days later, a neighbor stopped by and asked if they could use the post office after hours again—turns out, kids had been leaving thank-you notes for Santa ever since.
