MO DPO - Dunlap - Star Route Station - machine cancel - ghost town today - 1909

The post office in Dunlap, Missouri (located in Grundy County) was a vital railroad-era station that served as a central shipping and social hub for the northern part of the county for nearly 60 years. Dunlap is now considered an extinct town or "ghost stop." Most of the town's original buildings have been removed or lost to time. The area has largely reverted to rural farmland. The Dunlap Cemetery remains as the primary physical marker of the original pioneer community.
