National Postal Museum

Tips

• It's safe to say we never realized how important the Postal Service was until we learned of its extensive history here. Great exhibits and tons of knowledge.

• Great field trip location for classes. They organize trips for pre-k and k (and now 1st and 2nd). Book your trips for the year early on because they are filled fast!
