Two new stamps highlight Boston’s role in the Revolution

"The Postal Service’s latest release also celebrates the 2026 World Expo...The first of the two stamps depicts the Old North Church, the city’s oldest standing church building and an icon of the American Revolution. ... The second stamp shows a “midnight rider” on horseback, one of several who warned locals that the British soldiers were on the march. ...The intaglio-printed designs resemble vintage engravings, paying homage to stamps issued in the 19th and early 20th centuries."

USPS to release stamps, booklet to mark 250th anniversary

"...The first release — a 32-page booklet titled “Putting a Stamp on the American Experience” ...Both the booklet and pane are scheduled to be released in July and will be available at Post Offices and usps.com.

On July 26, 1775, the Second Continental Congress established “a line of posts” from Maine to Georgia to create a network of communications that kept Colonists’ messages from falling into the British Crown’s hands.

This postal system later became the Post Office Department and then the U.S. Postal Service.
