Oskaloosa’s old post office is open again, but not for mail. The town’s newest restaurant, American Table / The P.O. Box, is open for business in the town’s grand century-old post office. Housed in the historic district, American Table’s sit-down experience offers diners a close-up look at the building’s architecture, woodwork and original bricks.

The American Table celebrates local history with vintage photos and collectibles. And as its name suggests, the menu offers American classics, including burgers, sandwiches and salads, plus a full menu of cocktails and daily specials.
