March 16, 2026 will mark the centennial date of Robert Goddard's epic experimental liquid-fuelled rocket flight launched from his aunt's cabbage patch just outside Auburn, Massachusetts.
Will anybody be producing a cachet for Goddard's flight anniversary?
Will the USPS issue a special cancellation for Auburn Massachusetts on 16th March 2026?

The USPS publishes online a Postal Bulletin every two weeks; it includes new stamp issues and FDC information; rates; and pictorial cancels offered by a Post Office. Nothing yet as of today on a Goddard anniversary cancel; I would guess in March they would announce something, then a collector would have 30 days from the date to submit covers for a postmark cancellation.

That is very useful information to know, both specifically and more widely generically, thank you.
