1. A Foundation for the Future Marker
The clink of a coin or the scratch of a signature on a loan promised big things for the future in a small town. A bank played an important role in the economic development of a community. The town residents used it as a tool to save for the future or a source to borrow for a new business. A bank was a sign of a thriving community, and it connected the town to the wider world.
