The US Postal Service has marked a multitude of American milestones with commemorative stamps. Be they presidential birthdates, athletic feats, artistic accomplishments, celebrity superstars, historic events, scientific discoveries or spectacular sites, they may well be immortalized on US postage stamps. Postmarked in History features these commemorative stamps – and their stories – on the anniversary dates of their occurrence. Each month brings new dates that are Postmarked in History!

Please explore all dates Postmarked in History on the left side bar. There, you will find information and discussion points for your students!

Unfortunately only recent Postmarked in History articles will be visible in the present, or concurrent, month’s archive. If you would like to explore more articles for the month we are currently in, please email us at info@uspsconnection.com.
