Builder Greg Cox talks about renovations to the interior of the historic Williams Post Office building, now located just inside the gate of Pacifica, a nonprofit nature preserve off Water Gap Road in Williams. The former post office is being transformed into a community museum for the Williams area. It was saved from bulldozing and moved once before this relocation.

WILLIAMS — A small, rustic cabin that served as the post office for the community of Williams from 1948 through the late 1970s is getting a new life as a history museum.
The old post office, around 240 square feet, is now located just inside the entrance of Pacifica, a 420-acre nonprofit nature reserve off of Water Gap Road.
The building is currently under renovation, with work starting about a month ago.
