The Florida Postal Museum was created as a means of expression of preserving Postal History. A group of seven individuals, all with a similar interest in postal history, pooled their respective talents and established a not-for-profit corporation. With the help of volunteers, committees, and other outside organizations, their vision will be met, and most likely, exceeded.

Many organizations have either directly or indirectly influenced and / or dictated the path that the Florida Postal Museum has traveled. First and foremost would be the 1876 Heritage Inn, LLC, in Orange City, FL , without whose generous assistance there would be no Museum. The 1876 Heritage Inn is a historic building where the Museum presently resides; we, the Board of Directors, intend to work very closely with the Heritage Inn as our Museum develops.

Another resource to which the Museum is indebted is the U.S. Postal Service . We presently enjoy a good, working relationship with the Postal Service and often assist them with special events and shows. For collectible stamps, The American Philatelic Society. (A.P.S.) is far and wide the leading source of information. The world leader in postal cancellations and postmarks is the Postmark Collector’s Club, which has an impressive Museum in Ohio. Florida Postal Museum works very closely with this organization. And last, but not least, is the Marshall, MI Post Office and US Postal Museum and the Museum of Postal History in Delphos, OH . Both of these are well established and have worked with us in the past.

It is the working together of all of these groups that results in The Florida Postal Museum becoming a world-class organization of which we all can be proud.
