winona national bank

The building has some great bones. The glass is beautiful. That is the largest vault we've ever seen. The trophy elephant ears were great also.

The art and trophy exotic animals make this a different bank then we are used to seeing. Worth a stop in, we spent about 1/2 hour taking the walk around the second floor seeing the exhibits and history as well as a miniature model of the bank. The vault door itself is jaw dropping.

The bank is pretty good about people stopping in to look around. Not too long ago you were allowed to use their crazy old elevator, straight out of the time this building was built. A great scary ride.

We really enjoyed seeing the bank, it was beautiful to see all the marble and the lady that greeted us was so friendly, helpful and insightful. We also enjoyed the upstairs museum of taxedermy animals. The big huge lock on the vault was really intimidating and sitll used every night.
