That said, this is one of my favorite notes. I grew up in the Chester, Deep River and Essex tri-town area. These three Connecticut River towns are bucolic, quaint and picturesque. They were formerly part of the Saybrook Colony established in 1635.

The bank began operating on January 1, 1849, located on 151 Main Street, Deep River. First it was called the Deep River Bank and Trust Company. Later, it was given charter #1139 in 1865. Its official name was the Deep River National Bank of Deep River, Connecticut. Directors of the Deep River Savings Bank were also involved with the National Bank.
In 1899, R.P. Spencer was President, H.R. Wooster was Vice President and R.L. Selden, Jr. was cashier. These men may have autographed many notes. Locals will recognize the bank officer names. Descendants still live in the area. The Chester ferry bears the “Selden” family name. Also, the Seldens were a prominent Haddam name.
The bank ceased issuing currency in 1935. However, 1865 $20 Bill Deep River National Bank notes remained outstanding. People redeemed most notes. Others became souvenirs. This bank’s 70 year lifespan means its notes aren’t too rare. Nonetheless, notes in excellent shape from 1865-1882 command an above average appraisal.
Subsequently, the bank began commercial operation. It merged for the first time on November 11, 1974 becoming part of North Branford’s Community Banking Company. Ownership and operators changed many times afterwards. Eventually it became home to a Citizens Bank branch office. The building is different from its original structure. It was renovated many times since original construction. But the hometown service and friendly faces remain the same. And a short walk across the road leads to the historic Deep River Library.
