Smithsonian: National Postal Museum and Anacostia
I felt pretty privileged today. As some of you may know, the Senate Rules and Administration Committee has oversight for the Smithsonian Institution. As a part of our work, we got taken on two tours today. One of the National Postal Museum and one of the Anacostia Museum--they are really great!I have not been to many of the museums around here (yet); however, I was really fascinated with the digital work that the Postal Museum is doing. The NPM is the only place that has, in it's possession, ALL the stamps that America has
ever produced. That's pretty cool if you ask me. You can check this out online if you click here. On the first page, you'll notice the word "Philately" which is pronounced: This basically means "Stamp Collecting."
*Random note about Adam: As a young child and for a very short period of time, he collected stamps.
