Welton, IA — Postal officials announce a temporary closure of the Welton Post Office, located at 502 Main Street, due to building issues. There is no timetable to reopen at this time.

All postal operations have been relocated to the Dewitt Post Office located at 618 9th St, DeWitt, IA 52742.

Post Office Box customers will be provided delivery to cluster box units until a suitable resolution can be determined.
