The National Postal Museum has served as a way to both celebrate and honor the postal history of America since it first opened in 1993 within an historic city post office building. A massive collection postal artifacts, stamps, and informational exhibits are housed within the museum for visitors of all ages to examine. Visitors can learn about the interesting evolution of how the people of America have used mail in communications with each other as well as with the world. The museum features several vehicles that have been used throughout history to transport mail, including an 1851 stagecoach and a Ford Model A from 1932.
