A business can collect a lot of artifacts over more than a century! Take a look at some of the items that are a part of Mascoma Bank’s history. Can you spot some familiar names in our past Annual Reports?

As a community bank, we spend a lot of time focused on our neighbors and friends who come to us not only for their banking needs but also for connection, assistance, and even entertainment. Over the years, we’ve captured some of these moments in video. Take a look at a small selection of our historical videos below. You can find more on our YouTube channel.
