America's Credit Union Museum
- America's Credit Union Museum
America's Credit Union Museum is located in Manchester, NH on the site of the first credit union founded in the United States. The museum is housed at the original location for St. Mary’s Cooperative Credit Association, renamed in 1925 to La Caisse Populaire Ste.-Marie, or “Bank of the People,” St. Mary’s.
What is now the museum was formerly a three-story, three-family dwelling. To create the museum, the first two floors were converted into exhibit space about credit union history in the United States. The first floor pays tribute to the founding era of the credit union from 1908-1933. The second floor has historical artifacts beginning from 1934, featuring the Estes Park conference that created CUNA, and the 1934 Federal Credit Union Act which enabled credit unions to be established in all states in the nation. The third floor contains a 65-person capacity meeting space with LCD projectors.
Currently the museum is open three days a week, Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. There is no charge for admission.
