If you wanted to ship a package during
the 1880's from Thornburgh, Gap Creek or other shipping points, in
Knox County, you took your package to the Thornburgh or other Post
Office to be shipped by Adams Express, which was one of the country's

incorporated on July 1, 1854. It was the start of a small company that would struggle at times, but it would continue to grow.
