National Postal Museum

The National Postal Museum traces the history of the people, technology, and ideas that make the mail work. It also has a large collection of stamps and exhibits about the people and events that have been featured on them. It’s a good museum, but it’s not one of our favorites in Washington, which is a city spoiled by a huge collection of excellent (and mostly free) museums.

Admission: Free
