Hartsburg is home to one of the 13,000 rural post offices across the country that are reducing business hours in response to a major drop in revenue for the United States Postal Service.
Thirty Hartsburg residents met Wednesday to review the decision to keep the town’s post office open for only four hours on weekdays.
To the Hartsburg residents who gathered to discuss the future of the town’s postal service, the post office provides more than their mail—it gives the town an identity.
