Arizona's National Parks and Monuments Combined Passport & Postal Cancellations History
The envelopes in this display are stamped with the national parks passport cancellation stamps for the national parks sites in Arizona and postmarked with the postal cancellations for the post offices in or nearest to the park sites. Some national wildlife refuges and national forests are also included.
The closest post office may not always be the location and mailing address used by the particular national park site. For example, Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument shows Ajo as its location. However, Lukeville is the closest post office and is actually within the boundary of the national monument.
