The B. Free Franklin Post Office, located at 316 Market Street in Philadelphia, is a unique post office operated by the United States Postal Service that commemorates Benjamin Franklin's contributions to the postal system. This site allows visitors to experience a piece of history through the offering of a distinctive "B. Free Franklin" cancellation stamp when mailing postcards or letters.
While the post office serves as a limited services branch today, it features two small display cases that provide historical insights into the evolution of the postal service. Although no postcards are sold on-site, visitors can purchase stamps and enjoy the legacy of Franklin, who was appointed postmaster of Philadelphia in 1737.
