Navajo Post Office

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One day, a delivery driver asked curiously: ‘Why does everyone wave so enthusiastically when I come here?’ An old lady nearby smiled and whispered to him, ‘They’re not waving at you, sonny. They’re waving at their long-lost Navajo uncle who just arrived!’ The delivery driver looked around sheepishly, realizing he’d been mistaken for an expected relative.

2. One morning, a postal worker noticed something unusual on the counter—a small package wrapped in brightly colored paper with no return address or sender’s name. Curious, she opened it carefully and found inside a handwritten note saying, ‘For the nicest lady at the Navajo Post Office.’ Alongside was a single cookie decorated with sprinkles. Since then, every now and then, someone leaves an anonymous gift—maybe a chocolate bar, a card, or even just a smile for the staff.

3. At the Navajo Post Office, every afternoon around three, a little dog named Rocky would dash through the front door and bark excitedly at the mailboxes. No one knew why he did it—until one day, an old lady picked up her letter and Rocky started dancing with joy. It turned out that every day at exactly three o’clock, a regular would receive a package from his long-lost cousin in Arizona. The moment he saw the familiar address on the envelope, Rocky recognized it too—and since he couldn’t read or write, he’d celebrate by doing his happy dance.

4. At the Navajo Post Office, every Tuesday after lunch, a tiny bird would perch on the mail sorting table and peck curiously at envelopes. One day, an old delivery driver noticed the bird and tried to shoo it away gently. But instead of flying off, the little fellow hopped onto his cap and followed him around the post office like a curious companion. By the end of the day, everyone in town knew about ‘Cap Bird,’ and he became as much a part of the Navajo Post Office routine as the weekly coffee break for neighbors.
