The Celebrate the Century Collection brings the entire 20th century to life through U.S. postage stamps. Each of the ten galleries focuses on a single decade, from the 1900s through the 1990s, with fifteen stamps highlighting the inventions, achievements, and cultural milestones of that era. Together, the 150 images create a visual timeline of America’s journey—from the Wright brothers’ first flight to the moon landing, from Prohibition to Woodstock, from the Great Depression to the economic boom of the 1990s.
This collection is more than a display of postage—it is a portrait of history in miniature. The stamps capture defining personalities, social change, artistic movements, and technological progress, giving each decade its own unique character. Visitors can browse decade by decade, search across the century, or jump directly to themes such as war, sports, science, or pop culture.
For collectors, historians, and casual visitors alike, the Celebrate the Century Collection is both educational and nostalgic. It preserves the stories of the past while reminding us how far society advanced in just one hundred years. Each stamp is a small but powerful marker of the events that shaped modern America.
