KB History Flashback: In 1858, Kinderhook Bank was robbed of $10,000 because two men who went by Fish and Wallace, blew the doors off the safe! They were caught and sent to prison after robbing the Bank which had just one location way back then in Kinderhook, New York!
Never realized that building housed the bank,,, I love local history... Neil van Allen
Wow! Great story!
