History
Preserving the past,
remembering our roots.
H ills Bank has a rich history of determination, innovation and service. To share this lasting legacy with our co-workers, customers, and friends, several of our offices have rooms or displays which tell the Hills Bank story and the stories of the communities and people we serve. Many of the artifacts and information highlighted throughout this book can be found in these displays. We invite you to come visit the History and Heritage Room in Hills and the many other displays throughout our locations. Follow the bank’s journey through the past century and imagine with us what the next century will hold. (Below left) Remodeling of the Cedar Rapids Downtown office in 2008 included the addition of a History Room. Old-fashioned root beer floats are served from the soda fountain much like the Rexall Drug Store soda fountain that made its home at this location from 1937-1958.
(Above) Established in 2001, memorabilia in the History and Heritage Room at the Hills location include the original coin changer, 1912 general ledger, and newspaper advertisements through the years. The room even utilizes an original brick wall from the first building and a working alarm. (Below) Hills Bank’s Cedar Rapids location on the northeast side includes artifacts such as a 1916 Burroughs adding machine, coin counter, and coin banks. The three dimensional wall display features events and people in Hills Bank history as well as customer testimonials.
