Bank and Post Office — 1908



In 1908, the Westby Post Office was located in the northeast corner of what is today a part of Organic Valley. Notice Westby's first gas streetlight hanging in the middle of the State and Main Street intersection. What would later become Westby’s City Park and is now Couleecap-Vernon County was the home built by Johann Michelet, postmaster of the village of Westby for most of the 1880s and 90s. Later the house was owned by C.T. Shannon, who from 1880 and for more than thirty years was a Tobacco Dealer. His warehouse would later become the building that housed Westby Farmers Union in 1941 and until it moved to it's current South Main Street location.
