Higgins Museum in Okoboji, Dickinson County, United States | Museum

Visitors to the Higgins Museum, located in Okoboji, Iowa, United States, have the opportunity to view and enjoy the largest collection of National Bank Note issues on permanent exhibit anywhere in the country.



The Higgins Museum opened in 1978, its stated purpose being the acquisition, preservation and display of the notes, related artifacts and pertinent reference materials relating to the National Bank Note issuance era for educational purposes.



Many people regard these notes as America’s Commemorative paper money. The Landing of Columbus, the embarkation of the Pilgrims, the signing of the Declaration of Independence and other great events of our history are illustrated on the notes of the first charter period. All of the notes honor the towns, the banks, and many thousands of individuals who played key roles in the development of our country and its resources.



We feel fortunate to have the Higgins Museum and these great reminders of our heritage right here is Okoboji.
