The Chicago Philatelic Society is one of the oldest philatelic organization in the United States, serving stamp collectors in the Chicago, Illinois, area.
History
The society was founded October 8, 1886. Its predecessor was the Chicago Stamp Collectors Union established a few years earlier, in December 1884. It has the distinction of being Chapter One of the American Philatelic Society because of its long and continuous service to philately.
Meeting location
Monthly meetings of the Chicago Philatelic Society are conducted on the third Thursday of each month, from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Washington Library at 400 S State Street. Meetings feature speakers, presentations, and society business.
Chicagopex
Each year the society holds in November its annual Chicagopex philatelic show which features exhibits on display, stamp dealers and stamp collectors and visitors from around the nation.
