Description
Two murals were commissioned by the Treasury Relief Art Project (TRAP) for the former post office in Raton, New Mexico—now the library. The works: “First Mail Crossing Raton Pass,” and “Unloading the Mail at Raton,” were completed by Joseph Flecks in 1936.
“Unloading the Mail at Raton” has been separated from its companion work, and now resides toward the front of the Raton Museum, around the corner from the present post office.
