Spellman Museum of Stamps & Postal History

Business Information
The Spellman Museum is a private, secular non-profit educational institution located on the Regis College campus. It features exhibit galleries, a philatelic library, activities rooms, and a retail store stocked with stamps, collecting supplies, books, and souvenirs. Known for its dynamic exhibits and programs that bring history, current affairs, pioneers, and exotic places to life through stamps, the Spellman is one of only two philatelic museums in the United States. The other one is the Smithsonian Institution’s National Postal Museum in Washington, DC. The art, history, culture, and stories captured here on postage stamps engage constituents of all ages and backgrounds, fostering connections that are vital to an informed and enlightened populace.

In addition to vast collections of U.S. and international stamps, the Spellman is home to philatelic exhibits on a broad range of subjects including the 1773 Boston Tea Party, the 1937 Hindenburg disaster, Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and breast cancer awareness. Local residents may also enjoy displays on postal history in and around Weston, including the Boston Post Road which runs through the town.
