The bank has artifacts from its history traveling from branch to branch throughout the area. One of the draws is Lizzie Borden's signature card as a bank depositor. A picture of a former bank president, Leontine Lincoln (Victoria Lincoln's grandfather) with U. S. President Howard Taft, taken in 1911, is also part of the display.It's a traveling birthday party for a 150-year-old institution, and even Lizzie Borden's ghost is part of the celebration.
