The Dabney Post Office is a historic post office located on Kentucky Route 39 in Dabney, Kentucky. The one-story wood-frame building served as Dabney's community store and post office. Ped May built the post office around 1900; May ran both the store and the post office. The post office served as the social hub of Dabney, a common function of combination store and post office buildings in Pulaski County; the Dabney Post Office is one of the few surviving buildings of this type.
