I’m not a big fans of the Wells Fargo personally after the fact. But it’s very educated after reading all the fact that was on the display.

Very interesting museum for whoever iz interested in banking. Seing how banking was done and how money was moved long time ago in the West is very interesting. The museum is small but holds a lot, staff is really helpful.

A quaint little museum that provides a touch of times long past. Where horses and carriages were the means of transportation.The carriages are nicely preserved and give a feel of the craftsmanship that was demanded to build not only a stable but also good looking vehicle that could withstand the less than ideal roads.

Small but interesting. One of the original Wells Fargo stage coaches is here. Thats a highlight. The docent was very friendly. Four of five stars since its a lot about promoting Wells Fargo (bank), and Im not a fan. Interesting to hear bout how people transported money, valuables, and themselves before the automated age!

On my first visit to San Diego in 1991, I visited the Wells Fargo Museum and was amazed at how small the stagecoach was and how many people it carried. As a history teacher, I gained a new appreciation for the difficulty of travel pioneers faced. Now, 18 years later, it is still awe-inspiring.

Worth going just to see and read about authentic stage coach.

Historical with a touch of chamber music. One of the workers in 1800s garb could have smiled more. It put kind of a damper on the experience.

Nice museum, a Wells Fargo Stagecoach takes precedence. Then theres plenty of historical information to read and artifacts to see. I enjoyed watching the video, and my... goodness, I touched these sensor motion artifacts, and what appeared? You have to go, and check it out-

Kind of average and it doesnt help that Wells Fargo is going through a PR crisis as the whole experience felt a bit tainted.

When you visit Old Town, be sure to swing-by the Wells Fargo History Museum.My wife & I came to the west coast in 2001, and had no idea what an influential role Wells Fargo played in the regions history.Especially if youre a history buff.. Plan on spending a little time here.

This was Extremely cool for see how they shipped currency and parcels back in the day. I Didn’t realize how heavily armed they were or that They had so many problems with people trying to steal their shipping cargo.
