A name is shouted out, and a parcel is handed through the crowd to its eager recipient – mail call is a moment when the front line and home front connect. Letters, news, and packages from home unite families, boost morale, and in wartime, elevate the ordinary to the extraordinary.
“Mail Call”, the Park City Museum’s latest traveling exhibit, explores the history of America’s military postal system and examines how even in today’s era of instant communication, troops overseas continue to treasure mail delivered from home. The exhibit tells the fascinating story of military mail and communication – from the American Revolution to current wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
“Mail Call” will be at the Museum from now until October 20th, so stop on by. Military and family are free for the duration of the exhibit! Check out our website parkcityhistory.org/events for more information on exciting programming with this exhibit, including Lectures, Field Trips, and Community Giving Days to support our troops.
“Mail Call” is a National Postal Museum exhibition organized and circulated by the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service.
