Wells Fargo Museum

Looking for something off the beaten path in downtown Minneapolis? The Wells Fargo Center  on 6th street has a free museum with artifacts and hands on exhibits focused on banking, mining, and milling. Although it’s not very large, the exhibits are well worth a visit.

The centerpiece of the museum is an 1863 hand-crafted stagecoach, one of only a very few of its kind still around in this condition. When used back in its day, this coach could carry as many as eighteen people. That’s nine inside and nine hanging out on the top. Sounds crazy, but it’s true.

If you have 20 or 30 minutes and are in the downtown area, this is a great place to visit. And did I mention it’s Free?
