Could you be a postal clerk? In this gallery activity at the National Postal Museum, a volunteer challenges visitors to sort mail, deciding which letters will be delivered and which would be sent to the Dead Letter Office. Finish the challenge and leave with a prize. It runs from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Tuesdays about every other week: October 27, November 10 and 24, December 8 and 22, and January 5, 2027. The activity takes place in the museum's Moving the Mail Atrium, is free and is wheelchair accessible. No age range is given; the Smithsonian lists it under Kids & Families, Demonstrations and Gallery Talks & Tours.

What was checked & what still needs confirmation
Read from the Smithsonian's own Trumba events feed (si.edu events calendar), which lists each session as its own entry. Address '2 Massachusetts Ave NE' is printed in another Smithsonian feed entry for this museum; ZIP not printed. Not the already-listed Story Time at the National Postal Museum.
