Artifacts from the first credit union founded in the United States can be found at the America?s Credit Union Museum. It is located in the city of Manchester in Hillsborough County, New Hampshire.

The museum is housed inside the very location of St. Mary?s Cooperative Credit Association, the nation?s first credit union. It is commonly referred to during its time as the ?Bank of the People?. The building is a three-storey building formerly owned by Joseph Boivin, the manager of the cooperative.

The first floor of the museum displays the history of the credit union from 1908 to 1933, while the second floor contains the historical artifacts starting from 1934. The exhibits feature the Estes Park conference, and the 1934 Federal Credit Union Act that allowed the creation of credit union across the United States. Lastly, the third floor houses a 65-person conference room.
