Discover Neskowin through the lens of history.

A black and white photograph of a rustic wooden building with a sign that reads 'Neskowin U.S. Post Office.' Several people, including women and children, are standing on the porch, with some sitting and others standing, holding packages and conversing. The background features tall, leafless trees and a forested area.

Neskowin’s first store and post office were located on the east side of today’s Highway 101. (Photo from a late 1800s postcard.)
