Tucked along US 98 in the little Gulf town of Carrabelle
sits a police station so small you could mistake it for an old phone booth. That is because it basically was one. Back in 1963 the town set up its police phone inside a roadside booth, and somehow that humble little box grew into what folks proudly call the World's Smallest Police Station.
Over the years it became a genuine Forgotten Coast celebrity. It turned up on Ripley's Believe It or Not and drew curious travelers who just had to see it for themselves. The original booth is still lovingly kept by the local chamber, a tiny monument to small town Florida charm.

There is something unique - and wonderful - about a place that takes pride in being the smallest instead of the biggest.
Zero abuse of power and likely better protection of the community.
ReplyDeleteThe one in Uvalda GA is only slightly bigger, about the size of a squad car.
ReplyDeleteOrogrande, NM has a stretch of US Hwy 54 designated runway Five-four for Orogrande International Airport. The terminal consists of a four-sided outhouse with doors marked "arrivals", Departures", Baggage Claim", and "Security" which has a gibbet with a dangling hangman's noose!
