The National Postal Museum

I was hesitant about this one butit was very cool indeed. There was info on stamps, postage processing equipment,  the evolution of delivery, as well as postal investigations.  One rhing that was totally bew to me was the story of Owney. He was the dog of a postmaster who took to the rails. He traveled all over and was considered good luck.
