Do you know the names
of all our presidents? Can you place the
presidents in the order that they served? Can you name the presidents born in
Massachusetts? How many names of our
First Ladies do you know? You can find
out all this and much more at the Spellman Museum of Stamps and Postal
History’s Annual Happy Birthday Presidents Family Day on Thursday, February 20
from noon to 4:00. The Museum is located
at 241 Wellesley St. at Regis College in Weston.
Children and adults can
view exhibits of stamps honoring all past presidents to learn more about their
biographies, their achievements in office and their first ladies. Children can also search through boxes of Presidential
stamps to make their own free presidents’ collection. In addition, visitors can
use stamps to do various arts and crafts projects as well as create cards and
envelopes to send to friends. The Museum provides free postage. Designing stamp
mosaics and presidents stamps are additional activities. There will be a stamp
scavenger hunt of the Presidents on Stamps exhibit for prizes and children can
have their photo made into a stamp.
There will be free packets
of stamps for the children plus tips about how to start a stamp collection. Everyone can share a piece of the birthday
cake featuring a presidential postage stamp.
Regular admission will be charged and the Gift Shop and U.S. Post Office
will be open. Anyone sharing the same last name as any president will
receive a discount admission fee.
Regular admission: $8 Adults, $5
Seniors, $3 children (5-16)
