First Post Office in Ruskin

Mrs. Adaline Dickman Miller founded the first post office in Ruskin on August 7, 1908. The post office was located in one of the dormitories of the first Ruskin College. The doorway to the post office can be seen on the left of the photo, and Dr. McA Miller on the far left. Mrs. Miller is on on the bridge, in white.

Centennial celebrations are being planned for Ruskin starting on August 7 and going through the rest of 2007. More information can be found at the Ruskin History Project website: RuskinHistory.org
