New commemorative postmark now available at local Post Office …

The U.S. Post Office in Waukon will be offering a pictorial postmark (pictured above) in honor of the new Iowa quarter design featuring Effigy Mounds National Monument being released into circulation this week. Dustin Green, Postmaster at the Waukon Post Office, says his Waukon facility will have the new postmark available for the next 30 days and that anyone wanting this new commemorative postmark can bring in any item to have the postmark stamped on it, as long as that item has an uncanceled postage stamp on it. Green said the Waukon Post Office also has stamps and envelopes for purchase that can then have the new postmark stamped on them. He also said the Harpers Ferry Post Office will have a similar postmark commemorating the new coin release featuring Effigy Mounds. Submitted image.
