Kenneth Jessen photo collectionNotesPhotographer's note: "Villegreen was a rural post office and shows up in several locations about nine miles northwest of Kim. The post office opened in 1917 and probably moved from ranch to ranch. There is little information about this place except that the post office closed in 1985. At one of the sites are several abandoned homes. A gas pump sits by the service station that has long since seen its last customer."DonorGift; Kenneth Jessen; 2020.
