Inscription. As early as 1800, businesses were beginning to build around the Town Spring and shortly thereafter the town lots were being sold. There was was an immediate need for a bank for the merchants. A local bank was organized as early as 1818 to serve Lebanon and Wilson County. Wilson Bank of Wilson County represents early banking for the county. The Teller Window is an authentic teller window from an old bank in Watertown. The handwritten ledger books and the pot bellied stove are familiar things you would see in an early bank. The bank is open during the Wilson County Fair and on request for tours.

The Bank was built in 1993 and donated by Wilson Bank and Trust (Marker Number 9.)
