East Windsor Hill Post Office

The building that houses the East Windsor Hill Post Office was built about 1770. At that time, David Bissell used the building as a store for dry goods and groceries. Molasses and kerosene were pumped from the cellar, rum barrels were stored in the back room. An early post office was officially established in East Windsor, now East Windsor Hill, in December, 1810, with Aaron Bissell the Postmaster. Mail has been delivered to this old post office by post rider, stage coach, train, trolley and truck. The East Windsor Hill Post Office is one of the oldest post offices in the country. However, continuous service was interrupted in 1837 when Josh Risley had the post office in his home. The office continues in operation today and bears the Zip Code 06028.
