The Farmers' Bank of Rustico, located in the village of Rustico, Prince Edward Island, was operational from 1864 to 1894. It is often recognized as the first community-based bank in Canada. This historical significance makes it an interesting site for those interested in the history of banking and community development in Canada.
The Farmers' Bank of Rustico, built between 1861 and 1863, is a National Historic Site of Canada and serves as a local history museum. The museum showcases various aspects of local history, including the history of the bank, Acadian culture, the fishing industry, and area natural history. Admission to the museum also includes a tour of the adjacent Doucet House, which was moved to the site in 1999 from its original location on Grand-Père Point. The house has been restored to its pioneer appearance, offering visitors a glimpse into the past.
