American Philatelic Center

Reviewed By joeisle17 - Altoona, United States

Amazing facility tucked in central Pennsylvania. Ask for a short tour to discover all aspects the Philatelic Center offers. The library is a valuable asset to those who love research. As this was my first visit, I found it tricky to find. Once you pull into the Match Factory parking lot - head toward PA career link to stop sign, turn right to drive back and find Philatelic in rear.
