Alabama: Magnolia Springs
Mail is delivered by boat—courtesy of the only year-round river mail delivery service in the country—in this small coastal village along the Magnolia River. Dating to the early 1800s, the town is named for its natural assets: gushing springs and a shady canopy of magnolia trees.
‘Alabama’s Prettiest Town’ is a Shaded Riverfront gem with magnolia trees, a cozy inn and fresh gulf seafood.
“Magnolia Springs is the epitome of Southern charm, with oak tree-lined streets, historical churches, and friendly locals. Located at the beginning of the Magnolia River, it also happens to be one of the only remaining towns in the U.S. that has mail delivered via riverboat.
