Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

The Farmers Bank was the first bank in Virginia to have statewide connections in 1811. The next year, the bank loaned money to the United States government to help finance the war with England. The current location is the third iteration of the bank and the oldest still standing. The first location is unknown and the second burned down in a city-wide fire in 1815. The Federal-Style bank is three stories, with the kitchen alone being two stories and rebuilt in the 1980s using the foundation from the original building. The Historic Farmers Bank has been open for tours since the 1970s.
