Submitted information

DELPHOS — The Museum of Postal History of Delphos has just launched its new website at www.postalhistorymuseum.org.

Some of the areas are still under construction; but area residents can start right off with a video tour of the exhibits – what museum officials call their “3-minute tour”.

Scroll down the page and find three important areas can be found. First, there are several articles that have been published in various publications: Curator’s Corner. The museum explores many of the oddities and stories of the U.S. mail system.

The next section is about the museum’s Excursions. Here, there can be found details the museum’s next scheduled escorted motorcoach trip, which will be to Nashville, Tenn., home of the Grand Ole Opry and the No. 1 destination for music lovers of every taste. The trip will include four nights at the Gaylord Opryland Hotel and five glorious days to enjoy great food, first class service, and a myriad of entertainment and attractions. For more information call Museum Director/Guide Gary Levitt at 419.303.5482 day or night. Future trips include ones to New York City in October and also to Chicago the first weekend in December.

The last section of the website, which at the moment is labeled “Widget 3,” will be an invitation to become a Friend of the Museum. Membership definitely has its privileges for individuals, families and corporations.

There is more to see under the “Current Posts” section. In the future, the website full of fun articles, ideas, and activities.

Even better than the website is visiting the museum. Many people think that they have already seen the museum because it has been in existence since 1995. However, unless they have been here since late February of this year they “ain’t seen nothing yet!” In October 2011, the museum rebuilt the displays from scratch by building 3D murals and erecting more than 3,000 square feet of walls. Stop in during visiting hours on Thursday afternoons from 1 to 3 p.m. or Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Of course, groups are scheduled at their convenience.
