Spellman Museum on Travel Channel - Did You See It?Several months ago, the Museum was visited by a film crew from the TV show Mysteries at the Museum on the Travel Channel. They filmed several items from our exhibits including our railway mailbag and parcel post scale. These along with the stories about Mailing May, the little girl in Idaho who mailed herself to her grandmother, and the bank in Utah built entirely out of bricks delivered by the post office, were parts of episodes 9 and 11. We are hoping the shows will be re-broadcast and we can alert people about the date. The show may be available on Amazon's streaming network. If you did see the show, please let us know by writing to information@spellman.org |
