One of a number of Wells Fargo museums in California and the West, the Wells Fargo Bank History Museum (420 Montgomery St., 415/396-2619, www.wellsfargohistory.com, Mon.–Fri. 9 a.m.–5 p.m., free) in San Francisco boasts the distinction of sitting on the land of the original Wells Fargo office, opened in 1852.
Here you’ll see an 1860s Concord stagecoach, gold dust and ore from the Gold Rush era, and an exhibit called “Wells Fargo C.S.I. Officers in Pursuit.”
Enjoy the history of the stagecoach line that became one of the country’s most powerful banks.
