The Bank of Florence Museum, located at 8502 N. 30th Street in Omaha, Nebraska, is a historic landmark and the oldest bank in the state. Originally built in 1855, the museum showcases the rich history of the bank, which issued its own currency known as wildcat currency, and provides visitors with a glimpse into the life of the bank's manager, James Monroe Parker, through the restoration of the upstairs portion of the building.
After years of serving various purposes, the bank building was donated to the Florence Historical Foundation and meticulously restored to its former glory. The highlight of the museum is the original walk-in vault, which has remained in its original location since the bank's construction. With its fascinating history and unique exhibits, the Bank of Florence Museum offers a captivating experience for history enthusiasts and those interested in the early banking industry in Nebraska.
