Abstract
Scrapbook and other records documenting the history of the Morgantown post office. Includes news clippings, photographs, pamphlets,
and papers. Many clippings deal with postmaster appointments and changes in postal employee conditions such as pay raises
and working hours. Many pictures and articles document the construction of the previous post office, now the Morgantown Arts
Center, as well as the present post office. There are also clippings about natives of Morgantown serving in the military in
World War II. The Morgantown post office was one of the first post offices in what is now West Virginia; George Washington
appointed its first postmaster in 1795.
