Welcome!
Welcome to the website of the Champaign-Urbana Stamp Club! Our members share an interest in stamp collecting, or philately, and postal history. Whether you are a beginning or an advanced collector, the club may enable you to expand both your collection and your knowledge. Active members of our club have interests in a wide variety of philatelic pursuits. Look through this site (links are at the top of the page) for information on our club meetings and other activities, such as our annual philatelic exhibition (CUPEX). The club publishes a monthly newsletter, Prairie Stamp News, which is sent to members. Please join us at a meeting if you can.
The Urbana Post Office first opened on Friday, September 2, 1836 and has been in continuous operation ever since. This year the Urbana Post Office celebrated their 175th anniversary on Friday, September 2, 2011 at the Main Post Office (just off High Cross Road, across from Wal-Mart). The Club issued a philatelic cover to commemorate the event.
