AMONG COLUMBIA PENNSYLVANIA’S
OLDEST HISTORIC SITES

EXPLORE ONE OF THE OLDEST BANKS IN THE COUNTRY

Enjoy a guided tour of the First National Bank Museum and discover one of the few banks still preserved in its original setting in the United States.

The First National Bank of Columbia was chartered in 1864 and played a key role in the growth and development of Columbia.

Marvelous details from the bank’s working years survive, such as the walnut paying and receiving teller cages, the furnishings of the President’s office, the massive walk-in vault, and the original check canceller consisting of a tree stump and a specially designed hammer.

The bank occupies the front two rooms of the historic building – ready to learn more?

STEP BACK INTO THE 19th CENTURY

The rich history of the rivertown of Columbia, combined with the exciting history of this landmark bank and its many collisions with famous moments in history, make it a wonderful stop on your visit to Lancaster County, PA.

Bring your friends, schedule a school visit, or bring your homeschool co-op out to tour one of the oldest banks in the country.

Make sure to ask to see the bullet hole where the only known robbery attempt left its mark… in a failed robbery!
