Help save Swanton History.
“It is with great pleasure that I take this opportunity to announce that I have donated my bank/insurance building at 21 Merchants Row to the Swanton Historical Society. The purpose of this gift is to provide for a historical museum, and to provide permanent offices for the Society. But more importantly, for [the society] to protect the building, preserve the building, improve the building, and to take it into the future as the pride of the Swanton village/town community. Please join me in supporting their cause.”

Swanton’s Historical Museum Fundraiser: Saving a Landmark, Building the Future
We are restoring Swanton’s historic Bank Building into the new home for the Swanton Historical Society Museum. Among only few remaining historical structures in the village, none better captures Swanton’s commerce and community history. This landmark stands as a testament to an era of growth, development and prosperity. Having withstood fires and the passage of time, it showcases original finishes, uniquely crafted locally-sourced materials, and a walk-in vault, directly connecting it to Swanton’s heritage. Today, it symbolizes the many stories of our past reflecting resilience, strength, determination, and sense of community. Through the restoration and repurposing of this remarkable building, we hope to inspire a renewed sense of community pride while drawing more visitors to the area, helping to boost local businesses and tourism.
Join our brick fundraiser to help preserve Swanton’s history! When you purchase a custom-engraved brick, it becomes a lasting part of the restored Bank Building—future home of the Swanton Historical Society Museum. Your donation supports vital restoration work and celebrates our shared heritage, one brick at a time.
