MO DPO - Mcallister - machine cancel - ghost town today - 1907

The post office in McAllister, Missouri (located in Texas County) was a short-lived rural facility that served as a remote "star route" station during the turn of the 20th century. McAllister is officially classified as an extinct town. The area is located in a scenic, rural part of Texas County characterized by heavy timber and rolling hills near the Piney River basin. No physical town grid or commercial buildings remain. The name exists primarily in 1900s postal records and local genealogy for the McAllister and Wofford families of Sherrill Township.
