The release of five coming U.S. stamps that show murals in post offices was celebrated on April 12 in the main Ventura post office, 675 E Santa Clara St. The stamps do not show the wonderful Ventura murals, by Gordon K. Grant but they are being issued to honor murals throughout the country.
The administration of President Franklin D. Roosevelt commissioned artwork in Post Offices across the nation to provide jobs to artists and illustrate the history and culture of local communities across America.
Ex-city council member Jim Monahan gave a welcoming address to the very large crowd in attendance.
