Jamestown 2007 Commemorative Stamp
 |
The Jamestown 2007 stamp was rated as best-designed commemorative issue, most important commemorative stamp and favorite postage stamp of 2007 by stamp enthusiasts and collectors.
The triangular stamp honors the 400th anniversary of America's first permanent English settlement. The Jamestown Commemorative Stamp was unveiled during America's Anniversary Weekend.

I want to help the Stamp and Cachet Program!
The Jamestown 2007 Commemorative Stamp Group is a not-for-profit all volunteer group that is dedicated to raising funds to help offset costs of the stamp contest with the goal of showcasing student's artwork designs on official Jamestown 2007 cachets.
The group has also enlisted the help of former British Prime Minister Lady Margaret Thatcher to help lobby for the issuance of British stamps and cachets in 2007.
Cachet proceeds support:
Educational Programs
Audio-visual presentations
Publications
Student Scholarships
Stamp collecting as a hobbyCommemorative Stamp Project Supports:
- Awareness of Virginia's history and cultural heritage leading to the commemoration of the 400th anniversary of the founding of Jamestown
- Virginia Standards of Learning for Visual Arts and History and Social Science
- Virginia educators and students in the design of cachets
