Honoring Thomaston Savings Bank

Thomaston Savings Bank stands as a vital financial institution in our area, with a mission focused on empowering clients for financial success. Unlike some traditional banks, Thomaston Savings Bank operates as a mutual savings bank, meaning it is owned by its clients rather than external investors. This unique model enables the bank to prioritize the needs of its customers and community. Through its products , technology and commitment to security, the bank has consistently supported both individuals and businesses in achieving their goals. Additionally, Thomaston Savings Bank is a dedicated supporter of our local non-profits through their Foundation, demonstrating its commitment to fostering our community.

A true Thomaston treasure, Patti’s Place has been a beloved hometown diner for decades. Known for its comforting breakfast and lunch offerings, this local establishment is a go-to spot for residents seeking delicious, home-cooked meals. With weekly specials announced on their Facebook page, Patti’s Place continues to delight its loyal patrons. More than just a diner, Patti’s Place has become a cornerstone of the Thomaston community, offering a warm and welcoming environment for all who walk through its doors.
