This impressive gift of collectable banks was recently donated to the Museum by Jean and Roy Russo. Most of the banks were made
from the 1930’s up to the present. How many of these fun banks do you have or remember? When you visit find out why pigs became associated with banks.

And the Winner is... Ava Kristoferson!
