The message scrawled on this postcard is dated Aug. 6, 1913, in Seaside, Oregon. “Dear Mamma,” it says. “The weather is just grand here and having the time of our lives. Your daughter, Emma.”

Umpqua River Light in Winchester Bay is one of the five lighthouses being featured on a new series of U.S. Postal Service 41 cent stamps that go on sale today. The classic lighthouse, fourth from the left in the illustration above, was built in 1894 and is still in 24 hour operation. It’s open for tours from May 1 through Sept. 30.

The other stamps show, from left to right, Diamond Head Light in Hawaii, Five Finger Islands Light in Alaska, Grays Harbor Light in Washington and St. George Reef Light in California.
