Zane Grey Museum

The B. Free Franklin Post Office, located in Lackawaxen, PA, is a unique partner site of the United States Postal Service, notable for providing the official B. Free Franklin cancellation—a stamp used in honor of Benjamin Franklin, who was the postmaster of Philadelphia and co-Postmaster General of North American colonies. Visitors can immerse themselves in postal history while learning about Franklin's contributions to the efficiency of the postal system through historical displays at this avowedly historic site.

This operational post office, which features two display cases detailing the evolution of postal services, sells stamps but does not offer postcards. Though not a post office during Franklin's tenure, the branch embodies a piece of historical significance where patrons can participate in a tradition of hand cancelling their mail with a symbol that links back to one of America's pioneering postal figures.
