Honoring Rural Mail Delivery


The Smithsonian's National Postal Museum has launched a new online exhibit, "RFD: Marketing to a Rural Audience" (www.npm.si.edu/rfdmarketing), telling the story of how an experimental mail service in the late 1800s created a new commercial market.

For an interesting look at the history of the U.S. rural mail delivery system, including several old photos, take a look at the exhibit!
