With Collections Manager Kelsy Sinelnikov

Join Kelsy Sinelnikov for a look at objects in the collection related to banking and commerce. Discover what you could buy in exchange for a cord of wood or maybe a chicken in 1869 by looking at local account books. Examine 18th- and 19th-century paper money issued by local banks before a national currency took its place. Finally, discuss the rise of credit cards through a look at their predecessor, the charge plate.
