The U.S. post office in the town of Barnard is helping the community celebrate its 250th anniversary with a special pictorial postmark.
This weekend, Barnard Postmaster Brenda Roberts and her staff will be stamping letters and postcards with a unique postmark to commemorate the anniversary of the town’s original charter.
Roberts says she and her staff will be happy to cancel and mail back any letters that customers mail in. Customers may also bring in their own envelopes to obtain a postmark that they can take home as a keepsake.
