The Importance of History

November 25, 2025

By:

As a 115-year old business, history means a lot to New Tripoli Bank. We thought we should celebrate the history of our community by sitting down to interview members of our local historical societies and gather their perspective on history and its importance.

Their answers were varied, informative, and entertaining. We share them now with you as we prepare to celebrate the history of our nation on Thanksgiving. Hopefully this video conveys the importance of the work they do to preserve our history and celebrate it with future generations.

Many thanks to our participants!
