Spellman Museum of Stamps and Postal History
About this place
The Spellman Museum’s principal mission is to engage and teach diversity, history, and geography through philatelic exhibits, a research library, resource center, educational programming and community outreach. The museum was founded in 1961 to house and share the collection of Cardinal Francis Spellman, 6th Archbishop of New York (1939-1967), and the collections of the former National Philatelic Museum in Philadelphia, which had closed around the same time. It is one of two museums in the nation focused on philately. The museum now contains over two million items, ranging from postage stamps to postal history, to artifacts of communications through the mails. Major holdings include Cardinal Spellman’s collection and those from the former National Philatelic Museum, and collections or portions of collections donated or loaned by notables including Presidents Franklin D. Roosevelt and Dwight D. Eisenhower,[3] musician Jascha Heifetz, and U.S. Army General Matthew Ridgway.

Reciprocal programs are built for travel and most exclude places close to the one where you hold your membership, so this is worth the most when you are away from home. How reciprocal memberships work
