Fox News
The First Bank of the United States, located in Philadelphia, is set to be renovated and converted into a museum dedicated to its role in America's historical economic development.
After years of calls for its restoration, the building will open as a museum in time for the celebration of the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence in 2026.
"We tell the story of the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, the Revolutionary War," executive director Thomas Caramanico of the Independence Historical Trust said Monday, pointing to nearby institutions while standing on the bank's steps, WHYY-TV reported. "But we don’t tell the story of money."
