Artifact of the Month
The following artifact is from the Historical Society's collection and is featured this month.
This is the back-side of a pocket mirror. It was given to customers of the Farmers & Mechanics Bank during the Christmas season. The mirror was a promotional item used to advertise the bank. The F&M Bank had been located for years in the old First National Bank Building located at the corner of Main Street and Prospect.
