With
a population of fewer than 200, Caledonia County’s smallest town is accustomed to being
overlooked. The
Civil War hero the town of Stannard
was named after never even got around to visiting it. In
the 1800s, Stannard residents tried to make the area part of Danville. The idea was
rejected by Danville voters.
Stannard
has no village, and the government closed its post office in 1912. Still,
the town survives. In fact, residents
would say it thrives. VPR's Steve Zind talked with two
of them - Jan Lewandoski and Rachel Hexter - and filed this audio postcard.
