Indiana’s bicentennial is being marked with a new forever stamp. Known as the Indiana Statehood stamp, it features a photo of a sunset over cornfields near Milford.

The photo was taken by Michael Matti, a native of Milford. The U.S. Postal Service says Matti took the photo after driving in the area and decided to pull over. Derry Noyes of Washington, D.C. was the art director for the stamp.

As a forever stamp, it will always be equal in value to the current First-Class Mail one-ounce rate. The stamp will be released and dedicated during the bicentennial year.
