Postal history is the study of the use of postage stamps, postal covers, and associated artifacts to memorialize both historical individuals and historical episodes.

Van Harlingen Historical Society’s own Bob Wells, a student of postal history, says his interest in the subject was sparked at an early age by both the Famous Americans stamp series of 1940 featuring 35 renowned authors, poets, educators, composers, artists, and inventors and the Edgar Allan Poe stamp issued in 1949 upon the 100th anniversary of the author’s death.

Bob will discuss his collection and share how “…a seemingly innocuous interest in these little pieces of paper can spark a lifetime interest in history”. Original stamps and other artifacts will be on display for your perusal. 

The Van Harlingen Historical Society and the Somerset County Library System is proud to host this unique program in collaboration.
