Come and design your own America 250th themed postcard at the Idea Lab!

Engage in the American tradition of post carding! Post carding dates back to the 1800s and is a time-honored American institution. Come and use the art supplies of the idea lab to make your own postcard commemorating America's 250th celebration! We will have American themed rub on transfers that you can add to your postcard design. Or maybe you want to press a pattern into your postcard with our embossing machine. Let your creativity run wild and make something special!

Interested in learning more about the tradition of post carding or seeing historic postcard designs? Inquire about our volumes of the Postcard History Series in our Heritage Room or search "Postcards" in the PA Photos and Documents database of the PA Power Library!
