San Francisco - Wells Fargo History Museum
|
|
The Wells Fargo Bank building (main entrance in Montgomery Street), erected in 1959, is not itself of any great interest. But its museum is a rich source of information about the early history of California.
One of the prize exhibits is a particularly fine example of a Concord coach, the name being taken from the town of Concord in New Hampshire where coaches of this type were built.

A special display is devoted to Black Bart. Over a period of just eight years, from about 1877 to 1885, he ambushed single-handed 28 coaches. He would frequently leave comic verses at the scene of the crime in which he claimed to be a sort of Robin Hood robbing the rich to give to the poor.
There is a comprehensive library open to anybody who is interested.
