The B. Free Franklin Post Office, located at 316 Market Street in Philadelphia, offers visitors a unique historical experience through its special cancellation mark—a tribute to Benjamin Franklin, who served as Philadelphia's postmaster in the 18th century. Despite being a limited-service branch of the U.S. Postal Service, it provides an authentic glimpse into the past with small displays dedicated to the history of the postal service.
This site is distinctive as it is the only location where one can obtain the official B. Free Franklin cancellation stamp, emphasizing Franklin's legacy in improving postal operations. While postcards are not sold here, visitors can still purchase stamps and experience a piece of American history linked to the life and contributions of one of the nation's founding figures.
