First Day of Issue Ceremony: 250 Years of Delivering and Putting a Stamp on the American Experience
Date:
July 23, 2025 | 12:00 PM
Location: Washington, DC
The U.S. Postal Service will release new stamps, one of which comes as part of a 32-page prestige booklet, to commemorate 250 years of service to the nation.
The illustrated Forever stamps, 250 Years of Delivering, tell the story of a mail carrier making her daily rounds during a year in the life of the community she serves. The “Putting a Stamp on the American Experience” booklet highlights popular subjects that give the U.S. stamp program its remarkable range and depth. Exclusively available with this booklet are two sheets of a new Forever stamp featuring the first postmaster general, Benjamin Franklin.
The first-day-of-issue event for the stamps and booklet is free and open to the public.
