Lili’uokalani Gardens Stamp Released

Participants gather for a special dedication of the Lili’uokalani Gardens Priority Mail stamp in the gardens in Hilo, HI. From left are Hawaii County Executive Assistant Rose Bautista, Hilo Postmaster Alton Uyetake and Friends of Lili’uokalani Gardens President K.T. Cannon-Eger.

The Postal Service issued the Lili’uokalani Gardens Priority Mail stamp and the Gateway Arch Priority Mail Express stamp January 22.

The $6.65 Lili’uokalani Gardens stamp honors the landmark site in Hilo, HI.
The stamp features one of the gardens’ most iconic structures — a red wooden shelter on a stone bridge spanning a portion of the pond.

USPS is releasing the stamp to coincide with the gardens’ 100th anniversary.

The $23.75 Gateway Arch Priority Mail Express stamp depicts St. Louis’ famed stainless-steel arch as the sun sets on the banks of the Mississippi River. Towering above the city skyline, the Gateway Arch is reflected in the rippling water below, where a barge passes by.
