Inside Knowledge: The American Museum of Finance was formed by John E. Herzog following the crash of 1987, when the market dropped over 20% in one day. He saw the panic that people experienced and realized that the lessons of the Great Depression, which his parents had taught him, were unrecognized in the chaos. He sought to create a place that educates people about financial history in the United States.
