Welcome to the Twin Cities Philatelic Society

The Twin Cities Philatelic Society is the oldest stamp club in Minnesota. The club originally started in 1913 and has been operating continuously ever since.  We have a real mixture of people and collecting interests, with a very strong USA representation, although many of our members are worldwide collectors and some specialize in other areas like British Commonwealth.

The club meets twice a month, on the first and third Thursdays of each month.  People start gathering at 6:30pm for swapping, circuit book review, socializing and fun.  The meetings start at 7:30pm.
