Very odd to find the post office in the middle of town on two state lines. Quite interesting to drive around the building.

Not a whole lot to see here, so not recommended to travel out of the way to see it, but if its on your route, taking the time to stop by and see the only Federal Courthouse and Post Office built right on the state line is quite unique and interesting.

If you are a tourist in Texarkana you have to stop and get a picture on the State Line. We were told that this is the only federal building in the United States in two different states. There were some people cheering on a half marathon the morning we were there, and they couldn't have been friendlier. Also don't miss... More

Just cool. The building is neat to look at and the photo op is nice as well. People were nice. Would have been nice to go into the building but no cameras were allowed.

The main post office is located in Texarkana, Texas and also in Texarkana, Arkansas. The main post office straddles the Texas Arkansas Border. A great photo op for the family.

My husband is writing a photography history of Texas courthouses and we found the one in Texarkana with a single sign saying "Texas/Arkansas", seems like it's right on the border and serves both states.

I am a local who has lived in the Texarkana area for over a decade. Whenever I am downtown and see folks posing in front of the Post Office/Courthouse, it brings a smile to my face. How many places are there in America where you can have your photo taken in a place that spans two states, Texas and Arkansas?... More

ITs historic and sits on the state line, great for photo opt. Nice architecter to look at inside n out. But if u are planning on site seeing it won't take you very long which may or may not be a good thing.
