Second Farmer's Bank
of Carson Valley

The second Farmer's Bank of Carson Valley was constructed in 1918 and operated until 1968. The bank had sound financial resources for its size and in 1933, following a bank moratorium called by President Roosevelt, Farmer's Bank was among the first in the nation to reopen. The building has been used in movies and as a forest fire lookout station. Today it houses offices
