Where Can You Find Stamp Collectors Lurking in the Hudson Valley?

Do you collect stamps? Are you a philatelist? That is a stamp collector or maybe it is better to say stamp appreciator? Are their clubs or groups of stamp collectors in the Hudson Valley? Or is this a collection that takes place in solitude?

Probably one of the most famous stamp collectors from the Hudson Valley was former President Franklin Roosevelt. He loved stamps, it mentions on the website for his Presidential Library that the Presidents collection was not worth money, but it brought him great joy. If you would like to see the stamps that were given to him as gifts by other heads of state, you can see those at the Presidential Library located in Hyde Park, New York.
