You don't have to be a stamp collector to enjoy the Spellman.
"The Stamp Collection at the Spellman offers a surprisingly lively romp through snail-mail history." Boston Magazine recommendation.
" The Museum was recently voted one of the three best Museums in the Metrowest area in the Community Newspaper annual readers' poll. The Museum's gift shop and bookstore were also selected number one in Weston."
"Snail Mail is Cool at the Weston Museum" - Headline in Horizon, the AAA travel magazine
Children are welcome to search our two-cent boxes of United States and worldwide stamps to help them get started on their own stamp collection. All our gallery exhibits have special stamp hunts for children to do and to win stamp prizes. Currently on view is
"Old Glory, The American Flag on Stamps".
Also see our Flag Stamp mosaic made by visitors to our July 4 Family Day.
Every child who visits the Museum takes home a free packet of stamps and tips about how to start a collection.
