Transcription
The Farmers and Drovers Bank of Somers was the second banking institution to be organized in Westchester County. Founded in 1839 largely with monies made by the menagerie and circus owners of the area, the bank was located in the Elephant Hotel. When the railroads by-passed the town, commerce in the area slowly declined, and the bank began liquidation in 1885.
