SHS News Flash — Bank Building Update From David Horton:
It is with great pleasure that I take this opportunity to announce to FB readers 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 them 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. — David Horton
