It is a small post office. The gentleman working that day was very friendly and laughed with us about the number of people who stop just to take pictures. Yep; that's what we did.

Ochopee Post Office.

Smallest Post Office in U.S.

The lady postmaster said she serves about 80 Native American families who live on the Seminole Reservation in and around the Everglades. She was very nice and had postcards for sale of her smallest post office. It's located right on the Tamiami Trail, about a mile west of the world famous Skunk Ape Research Center.

Too small to go inside. Pre-stamped postcards are only $1, not bad. No bathroom, so it might be closed for a few minutes from time to time.
