Located right next to Union Station, this hidden gem features exhibits of stamps and philatelic objects, antiquated mail carrying vehicles and other artifacts from the history of our postal system.

It is an interactive museum that tells the history of America's mail service since before the American Revolution. Highlights include a dog named Owney, mascot of the Railway Mail Service. Leia mais

Their interactive exhibits are fun! You can use the handheld scanners to scan packages, and also play a computer game based on the sorting machines from the 1970s.
