Venezia's post office was established April 16, 1916 and discontinued June 1, 1935. Name after Venice, Italy, the town was a mill town for surrounding mines including the Crook Mine. The mill was a 20 stamp mill and was surrounded by a store, stage stop, saloon, and more. The U.S. Forest Service recently dynamited and bulldozed the site. Thanks guys.
