Minnesota became a state on May 11, 1858 -- 150 years ago this month.
One of the new 42-cent stamps honors Minnesota statehood, but everyone's probably still using up their Forever stampage.
The image on the stamp is just north of Winona, according to the USPS. Woo!

That is great!
I hate those boring generic Forever stamps. I got real 42c stamps as soon as I could. When I run out of Frank Sinatra, I'll get Minnesota!
cool, My hometown is Winona!
I graduated from Winona State University too.
