In this special 250th anniversary episode, we are joined by Jim Bruns, President of the National Navy Museum Foundation and former Director of the National Postal Museum, to learn how USPS has shaped the nation from the very beginning. We discuss how mail collection evolved from horse drawn deliveries and tavern drop offs to the blue collection boxes, self-service kiosks, and e-commerce tools we use today. Discover how the Postal Service built America’s first communication network, changing the way we live, work, and stay in touch.
