Built in 1888, the Post Office and Customs House served in this location until 1954. The Post Office was an active place in the heart of the community of Montague. The first post master at the Montague Bridge Post Office was Peter Gordon, starting in 1888. At the Post Office, local residents could collect their mail from boxes located inside, send out parcels and learn of current events in their community. |
