Listen "West Guilford Post Office circa 1930's plus Over Niagara Falls in a Barrel"
Episode Synopsis
This week, Kate talks about typical small post offices in Haliburton County circa 1930 using the West Guiford PO as an example. That branch operated out of the back of the post-masters residence, the business hours were flexible, and it went above and beyond expectations. Plus, Paul talks about the first daredevil to go over Niagara Falls in a barrel, and who also just happened to be a 63 year-old woman - Annie Edson Taylor.
