The Post Office did not close during the partial government shutdown other than normally scheduled breaks in service (Sunday). State parks were unaffected by the federal shutdown outside of a widespread misunderstanding of the general public regarding the difference between state and national parks. This led to lower attendance rates as people stayed home with the incorrect belief that their state parks had been closed, but the state parks remained open.
