A new product arrived, too -- Kathy Alpert's "Lost and Found: Historic Boston in Postcards" is now available!

Several passersby reserved seats on our Monday and/or Thursday shuttles to the museum, too. Stop by and say hello!

There has been a revolution in philately recently, as stamp collecting has moved from our dining room tables into the digital age. A new generation of stamp collecting “influencers” has gone online to create content for our hobby.

On Monday, May 25, the Spellman Museum will be hosting an evening panel discussion with some of the top creators in this space, including museum curator Ken Flowers of “Ken’s Stamp Collection” and “That Stamp Guy”, Ryan Joneson. Ken and his guests will discuss why they create content, give tips to potential new creators and answer live questions from some of their viewers.

This event is free with admission and begins at 6:30PM. It is part of the museum's participation in the Boston 2026 World Stamp Expo; shuttle service from the Expo to the museum is available.
