The historic Yosemite Post Office was completed in 1925. The building was designed by Gilbert Stanley Underwood, the architect who would later design the Ahwahnee Hotel.

The ceremony will begin with a memory lane tour of the historic post office with a look at pictures over the years. Attendees will also be able to purchase stamps, caches, and hear from current Yosemite Postmaster Ellen Damin, two former postmasters and District Manager Al Santos.

Last year, Yosemite National Park hosted USPS first day-of-issue dedication ceremony for the Ansel Adams Forever stamps featuring 16 photographs made by the esteemed artist and environmentalist. Stamps are now available online.

The United States Postal Service is an independent federal establishment, mandated to be self-financing and to serve every American community through the affordable, reliable and secure delivery of mail and packages to 169 million addresses six and often seven days a week. Overseen by a bipartisan Board of Governors, the Postal Service is implementing a 10-year transformation plan, Delivering for America, to modernize the postal network, restore long-term financial sustainability, dramatically improve service across all mail and shipping categories, and maintain the organization as one of America’s most valued and trusted brands.

The Postal Service generally receives no tax dollars for operating expenses and relies on the sale of postage, products and services to fund its operations.
