N THIS BOOKLET
we show some of the highlights of
the Wells Fargo Historical Collection,
many of the items being actual mementos of Wells Fargo Bank's participation in Western pioneer development.
The period covered is from 1848, the
year Marshall discovered gold in California, through 1869, when the transcontinental railroad was completed,
ushering in the modern West.
During the Golden Gate International
Exposition of 1939-40, this collection
was loaned to the City of San Francisco,
and formed part of the City’s official
exhibit at Treasure Island, where it
was seen by more than 2,000,000 Fair
visitors.
Today, the entire collection is on display on the ground floor at the Wells
Fargo Office on Montgomery Street at
Market. Visitors and interested San
Franciscans are cordially invited to
come in during any banking day.
