You Can Bank On This

I was her to get tourist information, and I got a tour. It is a small place, but the tour guide gave a great tour. It is very short so you do not have to spend your entire day here.

5-10 Minute Tour - History

This is not a must see or anything but it was cool to see how the bank operates in the early 1800's. Would recommend if you are in the area. The woman who gave the tour was very pleasant and knowledgeable.

Visitors Center

Very helpful!! Lady there knew everything you could want to know about Petersburg. One thing I learned while there was all restaurants in downtown Petersburg are private owners not franchises, so you really get a true taste of Petersburg!

Great place to start in Petersburg.

Take any of the downtown exits and follow the signs to the information center, which is located in an old bank building. Really neat place to start in historical Petersburg. Two ladies there were a wealth of information and great guides to the area. Note:...More
