US 1960s Postage Stamps

The U.S. postage stamps of the 1960s were notable for several reasons, including the introduction of new design series, the inclusion of the 50-star flag for the first time, and commemorative stamps marking significant events and figures. Postage stamps commemorating the centennial of the Civil War, the 175th Anniversary of the Bill of Rights, and famous statespersons like Eleanor Roosevelt, John F. Kennedy, and Winston Churchill were all released during the 1960-1969 period.
