NORTH AUGUSTA — Officials with the SRP Federal Credit Union celebrated the opening of a new museum inside its administrative campus, 1070 Edgefield Rd., on Thursday, Dec. 18, marking a significant milestone in the 65-year history of the credit union.
Founded in 1960 by a group of DuPont employees as a small institution serving the dedicated employees of the Savannah River Plant, SRP Federal Credit Union has expanded through the decades, according to a news release.
“We are thrilled to honor the rich history of SRP Federal Credit Union with this state-of-the-art museum,” said Shana Reid, Chief Development Officer of SRP. “It is not just unveiling a space, but revealing the stories, values, and people that shaped who we are.”
A sign welcomes visitors into the space.
“Over the decades, we’ve expanded our mission, but our core values remain the same
– empowering members, building financial security, and improving lives,” it reads. “Step inside and explore our legacy of resilience, growth, and opportunity.”
The SRP Museum tells the story of SRP Federal Credit Union through artifacts, historical photos, interactive elements, and more. Replicas of SRP’s first ATM and black-and-white photo walls help bring the credit union’s vibrant history to life.
With a detailed historical timeline and a wall display dedicated to the impact of the SRP Affinity Debit Card Program for local schools, the SRP Museum demonstrates SRP’s longstanding commitment to the credit union philosophy of “People Helping People.”
