Geocache Description:


FIRST STATE BANK

OF

LONG LANE MO

‘THE SMALLEST BANK IN MISSOURI’
OPENED ON AUG. 15, 1910
BY NOV. 1926 HAD A CAPITOL OF $46,500.
IT SURVIVED THE GREAT DEPRESSION
AND A ROBBERY IN THE 1930’S
THEN MERGED WITH BANK OF BUFFALO IN 1938

This old bank is definitely a piece of history that you need to see. I don't think you will find another one like it anywhere. The outside is pretty well restored but the inside still has a long ways to go.

The cache container is a Lock and Lock and is approximately 6in x 6in in diameter and it's 3in deep. It is large enough for small trade items, Geocoins, and Travel Bugs.

Very little walking to get to this one. You can park within 40 feet of it. I thought about listing it as Handycap and stroller accessible and it probably is, except you have to go over a grass lawn to get to it.

There's Missouri Lottery Tickets for the FTF

This bank is now owned by Long Lane Lions Club. Thanks to Ray Burd of The Long Lane Lions Club for giving me permission to place this cache here.
