ABOUT
First National Bank Museum
Visit the First National Bank Museum, one of the oldest historic sites in Lancaster County. The bank is located in two rooms of an 1814 Federal-style townhouse that was built for Columbia’s founding father John Wright, Sr.’s grandson, affluent merchant James Wright, Jr. Chartered in 1864, First National Bank of Columbia is still preserved in its original setting, giving groups a look at the President’s desk, a walk-in vault, a custom-made hammer, teller cages, and the original check canceler, which features a tree stump. Private field trip tours are available for student, scout, homeschool, and camp groups by appointment.
