The B. Free Franklin Post Office in Philadelphia, PA, is a unique partnership site managed by the United States Postal Service, recognized for offering the official B. Free Franklin cancellation. This historical location emphasizes Benjamin Franklin's vital contributions to the postal system, serving as an important ode to his legacy as Postmaster of Philadelphia and later as co-Postmaster General of the North American colonies.
While the site features a small exhibition on the history of postal services, it functions primarily as a working post office where visitors can mail letters and postcards stamped with Franklin's iconic cancellation. Although it does not sell postcards, the post office provides stamps, allowing patrons to engage with a piece of postal history set in the heart of Independence National Historical Park.
