Additional Description: The Algonquin Park Post Office was started on January 9, 1897 at Canoe Lake. That same year the Post Office moved Cache Lake where it remained until the office closed in 1980. Managed by residents, Park Superintendents, and proprietors of the Highland Inn, the Algonquin Park Post Office was one of nine known post offices in the Park. This post office box was used at Cache Lake to collect mail when the office was closed. Since 1993 this box has been stored in the Algonquin Park Archives. Today cards and letters deposited in the box will be collected daily.
