A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something odd outside Lancaster Post Office. ‘Who keeps leaving those mysterious packages?’ he asked himself aloud. As he approached closer, he saw small notes attached: 'Please deliver to Mr. Postman,' they read. Turns out, someone was playing a prank—leaving tiny packages addressed to themselves. The whole town had a good laugh over it, and now, whenever there's a new package, everyone wonders if it's another one from 'Mr. Postman.'
2. One day, a delivery driver pulled up to Lancaster Post Office and saw an unusual package on the loading dock. Curious, he picked it up—it looked like someone had sent themselves a birthday cake, but with no return address. He cut into the cake only to discover it was made of papier-mâché and filled with confetti. Surprised laughter echoed through the post office as everyone gathered around to see the prank unfold. Turns out, a regular customer had arranged it for his own surprise party later that evening.
3. One afternoon, a little girl approached the Lancaster Post Office mailbox with her eyes wide in wonder. As she reached for the mail slot, she suddenly froze—her hand had just passed through it without touching anything. Just then, an old delivery driver happened by and asked what was wrong. With a giggle, the girl explained that she could pass right through the mailbox. The driver scratched his head and said, 'Well, honey, maybe it's because you're too young to send letters yet!' And they both laughed, leaving the girl with a warm memory of Lancaster Post Office.
4. In the early morning, a delivery driver heard an unusual announcement over Lancaster Post Office’s intercom: ‘Dear customers, please be advised that today our hours are from dawn until dusk, but only if it’s sunny.’ Confused and amused, the delivery driver relayed the message to his colleagues. For weeks, whenever it rained or was cloudy, he’d hear someone outside the window asking, ‘Excuse me, is it still open? It says so on the intercom!’ Eventually, the postmaster installed a simple sign reading, ‘Open daily, rain or shine.’
