Description

Did you know the post office is older than our country?  The history of the United States Post Office is fascinating and is an excellent reminder of the need for fast communication across the nation before the modern era of instant global communication.  As we celebrate the birthday of the post office, who better to talk us through the history of the post office, including which Founding Father was involved with its operations for more than 40 years, than the historian of the United States Postal Service?  Our guest is Stephen Kochersperger and he began his postal career more than 40 years ago as a clerk and also served as a postmaster in Julian, PA., before becoming the USPS Historian in 2024.
