In 2025, the United States Postal Service celebrates a monumental milestone—250 years of connecting our nation.
Our Commemorative Collection
To celebrate this historic event, we have created 12 different postcards—each revealing a different pivotal moment in the history of the postal service. Plus, fascinating facts and trivia are included to provide historical context.
The Beginning
The first postcard in the set commemorates the establishment of the United States Post Office by the Second Continental Congress in Philadelphia on July 26, 1775—while also highlighting Benjamin Franklin's appointment as the first Postmaster General:
Release Schedule
Each month, we'll release a new postcard in the series. Each commemorative postcard will remain available throughout 2025—so no need to worry if you miss a month.
In December 2025 when we release the final postcard, all 12 postcards will be available as a collector's keepsake.
