Savings Bank of Walpole is excited to kick off its 150th anniversary in 2025. Throughout the year, the Bank will mark this significant milestone with special events and initiatives for customers, employees, and the community.
Founded as a mutual bank in 1875 by local leaders, Savings Bank of Walpole has remained committed to safeguarding deposits, supporting local businesses, and strengthening the community. A century and a half later, the Bank continues to operate as a mutual bank, dedicated to these founding principles.
The Bank has just launched one of its anniversary initiatives— SBW 150 Good Deeds, inspired by its ongoing commitment to the community. The Good Deeds will be a year-long initiative where bank staff are broken into teams to partake in a variety of “good deeds”, of their choosing, around the community. The goal is to accomplish 150 deeds throughout the year. As part of this initiative, the Bank invites the community to share ideas that build on or complement these efforts by visiting https://walpolebank.com/good-deeds/.
Additional events planned at this time include Celebrating Our Legacy, Building Our Future—a spring event honoring individuals who have shaped the Bank’s history, a Keene community event in partnership with the Keene SwampBats, and a Walpole community event connected to our Summer Concerts on the Green.
“We’re looking forward to celebrating 150 years of community banking,” says Mark Bodin, President of Savings Bank of Walpole. “Founded as a mutual bank, we’re incredibly proud to still be a mutual bank and the Monadnock Region’s truly local bank. We certainly honor our history and accomplishments, but we’re always looking ahead for ways to better serve our customers and our community. And we’re just getting started!”
