Mid Penn Bank recently celebrated its 155th anniversary. Originally chartered as Millersburg Trust Company, the bank is Central Pennsylvania’s oldest continuous banking institution.

Over the years, it has grown to be a $5 billion bank with 49 financial center locations throughout all regions of Pennsylvania and central New Jersey. Services have expanded to include trust and wealth management, insurance products, and private banking.

On September 18, a celebration was held at the original Millersburg location at 349 Union Street. Legacy shareholders and directors were invited to socialize and reflect on the history and contributions of the bank to the communities it serves.

“Our founders took immense pride in being a true community bank, and I know they would be proud of how we have upheld our commitment to the communities we serve. It continues to be a pillar of our mission and we strive to find new ways to show our gratitude to those who have supported us since September 21, 1868,” said Mid Penn Bank President and CEO Rory Ritrievi.

In addition to providing the best in financial services, the bank prioritizes donating its time and money to organizations within its footprint. Last year, the bank contributed over $2.4 million, and employees volunteered over 10,000 hours, to local community and nonprofit organizations.

The bank also holds two large fundraisers each year that raise money specifically for cancer research and to pay for diagnostic testing for members of the bank’s community.
