Little Compton is a town in Newport County, Rhode Island. The main post office is in walking distance south-easterly of Rhode Island's only town common which has the form of a triangle.

The white church nearby is the United Congregational Church. The spire is listed as a benchmark. A stroll over the nearby cemetery is also very interesting. Take your time and try to find the grave of Elizabeth Pabodie, the eldest daughter of John Alden and Priscilla Mullins of the Mayflower. She was the first white woman born in New England.

Litte side note:
There is a blue sign at the north entrance of the main post office stating "SHIRT & SHOES REQUIRED". And what is with pants?

Visit Instructions:
To post a log to an existing U.S. Post Office waymark, you will need to post a picture of the front of the building, with the name of the post office in the background if that is possible.

A description of your Post Office is required, such as when it was built, history, outstanding or unique features, population of the city or town, just do a quick internet search and find an interesting bit of information about the city or town and add it to the long description, to make it more interesting. Even just adding in the population of the area can give others an idea of how many people this post office serves. This description should be at least three sentences.

If your Post Office has any unusual or unique features that you feel others would enjoy viewing, additional pictures are always welcome.
Including your gps device in the picture is not necessary, but wouldn't be cause for disapproval, as long as all other details of your log are acceptable.
