The Hebron United States Post Office is a historic building in Hebron, Nebraska. It was built in 1937, and designed in the Moderne style by U.S. supervising architect Louis A. Simon.[3] Inside there is a mural by Eldora Lorenzini, completed in 1939.[3] The building has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since May 11, 1992, as US Post Office-Hebron.[1]

The mural's subject is a herd of stampeding buffalo, stopping a train. An event of this type was asserted to have happened in the area.[4]
