The former Town Hall (and former Poolesville National Bank) has become Poolesville’s gateway for Montgomery Heritage Tourism and  includes a museum of Poolesville’s historic role during the Civil War.  A grant of $175,000 from the State of Maryland Heritage Areas Authority (MHAA) and Heritage Montgomery helped fund the acquisition and renovation of the building.  Further generous support was given by Austin and Gogo Kiplinger and the Kiplinger Foundation.

The Bank Museum has an ongoing  Civil War exhibit that presents Poolesville’s role during the war through actual artifacts found in the town and surrounding area, encampment replicas, and drawings and pictures of skirmishes and key individuals tied to Poolesville.  The 1907 bank, which for years served as the Poolesville Town Hall, has been restored to its original appearance.
