While the Herman Post Office remains closed, the community it serves has been placed on a United States Postal Service carrier route for the first time ever.
Township secretary Roxann Stickney said the news was announced at a board of supervisors meeting Wednesday, Aug. 6. She also said that while residents once again have a convenient way of getting mail, efforts to bring a post office back are still ongoing.
“(USPS officials) are still looking into the post office and they’re still going to do that study on whether it’s feasible or not to have one here,” Stickney said.
She said before the Herman Post Office closed in April 2024, residents still had to travel to the office to collect their mail from P.O. Boxes. Now, residents can either set up a mailbox on their property or get a P.O. Box at either the Butler or East Butler post offices.
“This is entirely brand new for us over here,” Stickney said. “It’s really been a community effort.”
