The U.S. Postal Service announced Monday that the historic Tamaqua train station will be featured on a 2023 stamp.

“The 2023 stamp program features a broad range of subjects and designs. These miniature works of art highlight our unique American culture and offer a broad selection for those looking to collect stamps or send their mail around the nation or the world,” said USPS Stamp Services Director William Gicker.

Tamaqua is one of five stations across the country to be featured.

The postal service said, “Noteworthy railroad stations began brightening the American landscape by the 1870s and, although many were torn down once they had outlived their original purpose, hundreds survived.”

Other stations are Point of Rocks Station in Maryland, Main Street Station in Richmond, Virginia; Santa Fe Station in San Bernardino, California, and Union Terminal in Cincinnati, Ohio. Passenger trains stop at all of them except Tamaqua.

Derry Noyes served as art director. Down the Street Designs created the digital illustrations and typography.
