About this event

  • 3 hours

July 1st, 2024 marks the 177th anniversary of the first U.S. postage stamp! The first general issue postage stamps went on sale in New York City, July 1, 1847. One, priced at five cents, depicted Benjamin Franklin. The other, a ten-cent stamp, pictured George Washington.

Join us in our classroom as we decoupage mini wooden boxes with authentic 1920s postage from around the world (U.S., France, Sweden, and more!). Use these boxes to store your own postage stamps — support the U.S. Postal Service!

This is an adult crafting event. Advanced registration required.

Tickets: $10

Tickets for this event support our education department, ensuring that the majority of our family crafting events, like Hands-on History, remain free!
