About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dusk, a little boy named Timmy would run past the Weybosset Hill Post Office, stopping abruptly every time he heard the mail truck's distinctive horn. His curious mother wondered why, until one day she followed him and saw an old delivery driver waving at invisible letters. One evening, while delivering mail, a regular delivery driver noticed Timmy standing on his porch with a big smile. ‘What’s so funny, kid?’ asked the driver. ‘I’m just waiting for my letter from Santa,’ replied Timmy. The driver laughed and said, “You’ll get it sooner if you stop running after the mail truck!” From then on, Timmy waited patiently, and everyone in town knew that magic sometimes arrives through the Weybosset Hill Post Office.

2. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar on the post office parking lot: an old, dusty envelope addressed to ‘The Next Person Who Finds This.’ Inside was a note reading: ‘If you receive this, please deliver it to the person who needs it most today.’ Since then, every few weeks someone discovers another mysterious envelope with similar messages. Finally, one day a delivery driver found an envelope addressed simply to ‘The Most Patient Person Ever.’ Inside was a note saying, ‘You’ve been waiting for us long enough—we’re here!’ Turned out it was from the local ice cream truck.

3. At closing time one day, an elderly gentleman approached the counter and asked the clerk to hold his package until tomorrow. The next morning, when he returned, the note on his envelope read: ‘Dear Sir, your package has been delivered.’ The old man scratched his head, puzzled. He opened the note again, only to see it was signed with a friendly smiley face 😊. A few days later, a neighbor stopped by and joked, 'Maybe they finally found someone who could deliver your package!'

4. At sunrise, a delivery driver parked his truck next to the Weybosset Hill Post Office and stretched, noticing something odd on the roof of the building. Curious, he peered up and saw a neighbor’s cat, fast asleep in the gutter guard, oblivious to the early-morning traffic. With a gentle shake of his head, the driver knocked on the door, waking everyone inside with a hearty laugh. ‘Morning, guys!’ he said, ‘looks like someone found a new bed today.’
