Post Office Museum

My favorite Smithsonian Museum is the United States Post Office Museum. So we went on a trip there during Christmas break also. The museum is never crowded and is not too big so it is manageable in a few hours. The kids really enjoyed it also and learned a little about zip codes and mail fraud!

Here is the kids in the mail wagon. They learned that mailing the packages meant for a crowded wagon ride across the US because they would continue to add more and more packages.

Here they are practicing the zip code sorting system....

This is a large video room that they enjoyed rolling all over.

This is all sorts of mailboxes through the years...
