Missouri Statehood Stamps

Missouri Statehood Stamps
Forever 82¢ | Sheet Stamp Format

On August 10, 1821, Missouri was admitted as the 24th state in the Union. In 2021, the U.S. Postal Service celebrated the state’s bicentennial with a stamp.

The stamp art features a photograph of Bollinger Mill State Historic Site. The photo shows the multi-story mill, which dates to the Civil War period, as well as the Burfordville Covered Bridge, Missouri’s oldest and one of just four remaining covered bridges in the state.

Located near the center of the contiguous United States, Missouri is bounded by more states than any other state except Tennessee. The Missouri River bisects the state, forming its border from the northwest corner to Kansas City, then flowing east to just above St. Louis, where it joins the Mississippi, which forms the entire eastern border. Jefferson City, located on the river in the middle of the state, is the capital.

The Missouri Statehood stamps are being issued as Forever® stamps. These Forever stamps will always be equal in value to the current First-Class Mail® one-ounce price.
