Happy Birthday to Albert Gallatin the former Treasury Secretary wasn't originally a supporter of the First Bank when it was created. He over time thought became one of his biggest defenders. He tried in vain for Congress to re-charter the First Bank.

#DYK that before the First Bank building was completed, the national bank operated out of Carpenters' Hall? Next Thursday, join Carpenters' Hall, Independence Historical Trust and Independence NHP, Edgar Allan Poe NHS & Thaddeus Kosciuszko NM for a virtual program on the history of banking.
