The bank pictured in a 1993 family photo was the First National Bank of Intercourse, located at the intersection of Old Philadelphia Pike and Newport Road (routes 340 and 772), in the small, rural village of Intercourse, Leacock Township.
In February of 1908, a meeting was held in the village to pick a committee to organize a national bank. The building lot was purchased for the sum of $235.
The architect, William P. Erisman of Lancaster, was hired for $75, and Samuel B. Futer, a local contractor, built the bank for $5,347. The bank opened for business on Oct. 10, 1908.
This bank merged with Farmers National Bank of Lititz in 1972. Two years later it became Farmers National Bank and moved to a new location at the west end of town. The bank at that location is now known as BB&T. The original building is currently home to the American Military Edged Weaponry Museum.
