Photographic postcard of the Casperson Post Office, exterior view. The photograph includes two families and a dog seated in front of the Post Office. The Casperson Post office was established in 1903 and initially located in Section 18 of Golden Valley Township. It was named for brothers who took homestead claims near it. The Post Office was later moved to section 21, where it operated from 1903 until 1907.

Exterior view of Lee's Store & Post Office in Wannaska. Several people are sitting and standing on front porch. The sign above the door reads "Post Office." There is a bicycle leaning against a post on the side of the building. Individuals in the photograph are: Joe Hagen, Mrs. A. O. Hagen, Laura Hagen, Mrs. Knudt Lee and Sarah Lee.
Some sources say the community was named for Tom Penasse, an American Indian from the area, who may be the man pictured. The sign reads, "United States Post Office Penasse Minnesota, The Most Northerly P.O. in U.S.A." Penasse, Minnesota is located in the northern part of Minnesota's Northwest Angle in Lake of the Woods County.
