Atwood Post Office

Postmasters:

“Sam” Zuckerman came to Atwood in 1922 where he ran a general store, a gas station, and the post office. He also owned a small apartment building, which burned in 1929. Zuckerman left town not long after.

Joseph Duer, a former South Dakota homesteader, took over the grocery store at Atwood after John Zuckerman and ran it for several years.
