'Turnback Tuesday' (on Wednesday) highlights The Home Trust Co. in Derby


Turnback Tuesday remembers The Home Trust Co., incorporated in 1873. 
The office was originally located at 239 Main St., then in 1901 moved to 293 Main St., Derby. The Home Trust Co. handled Investments, Insurance, real estate, rents, fidelity bonds and deposits. 
After many years of success, the Home Trust Co. joined the Second National Bank of New Haven / Derby Branch in 1966. 
Interesting tidbit: our own H. Holton Wood who was instrumental in building our Library was the Home Trust President from 1894 to 1897.

Thanks as always to the Derby Public Library staff for sharing interesting local history each week.
