- Published: Jul 4, 2016, 3 AM
The subjects and schedule for the July 28 Higgins Museum of National Bank Notes seminar in Okoboji, Iowa, is set.
The full-day event begins with introductions at 8 a.m. and is followed by a presentation titled “National Bank Notes; McCulloch’s Early Insights” by Wendell Wolka. This refers to Hugh McCulloch, the subject on the face of the $20 notes of the Third Charter Period and secretary of the Treasury from 1865 to 1869 and again from 1884 to 1885. He was also the first comptroller of the currency, serving from 1863 to 1865 when more than 800 national banks were chartered.
Lee Lofthus will speak on “National Banking Inside the Treasury,” followed by Frank Potter’s discussion of the family story behind the First National Bank of Harlan, Iowa.
