SUMMARY:Trains on Stamps Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Spellman Postal Museum Opens ‘Trains on Stamps’
 Exhibit\n\nWeston\, MA – Stamp collectors and train buffs alike will
 enjoy a new exhibit at the Spellman Museum of Stamps and Postal
 History.\n\nFeaturing stamps from the museum’s vast collection\, the
 Trains on Stamps exhibit portrays the worldwide history of commemorative
 stamps depicting trains and railways.\n\nStarting with the first U.S. train
 stamp in 1869\, the exhibit displays stamps honoring steam locomotives\,
 streamlined passenger trains\, the first transcontinental railroad\, and
 many more. International stamps commemorate the World War 1 armistice
 signed in a French railway car\, the famed Flying Scotsman steam
 locomotive\, as well as the Orient Express luxury passenger
 train\n\n“Evoking the spirit of adventure\, trains have long been a
 favorite topic for commemorative stamps\,” said exhibit curator Stephen
 Brayton. “For this exhibit we researched postal and railroad history
 going back two centuries\,.”\n\nThe only U.S. stamp museum outside of the
 Smithsonian Institution\, the Spellman features philatelic exhibits on
 topics ranging from the Boston Tea Party to the 1937 Hindenburg disaster\,
 from Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg to breast cancer awareness.
 Local residents will also find displays on postal history in Weston\,
 including the Boston Post Road.\n\nThe Spellman Museum is a private\,
 non-profit educational institution located on the Regis College campus in
 Weston\, MA. Besides exhibit galleries\, it features a philatelic library
 and a retail store stocked with stamps\, collecting supplies\, books\, and
 souvenirs.\n\nContact: Brian Howard  781-768-8367.
