First Bank of Pinehurst
Currently serving as a bank today from the heart
of the Village, this property was established as “the
first bank” in Pinehurst. In 1914, Leonard Tufts sold
the property to the Bank of Pinehurst to meet the
financial needs of the ever growing young Pinehurst.
Crafted of brick with Colonial architectural
features, some say it mimics an old counting house
in South Carolina. Built for the residents of Pinehurst,
the bank opened with $7,000 in deposits. Featuring
fire proof, burglar proof vaults and safe deposit
boxes, customers felt secure in leaving their money.
As the Village grew, the bank quickly outgrew its
building. Neat fact: It has fronting on 2 streets. ��
Leaf Collection
Everywhere we go, there are leaves! Every
village, downtown, and neighborhood has leaves
of all colors, shapes, and sizes.The best time to
gather the leaves is in the fall when the leaves
are falling from their branches and showing
their true colors. As you notice the varieties��
gather them up! Identify them! Draw them or
mount them on pages in a journal to record your
scientific finds!
Gather supplies:
• Leaves • Guide book to trees • Colored
pencils • Glue • Notebook • Decorations
Let’s get started:
• Take a walk and gather the leaves as you walk.
• Carry a bag or basket with you to hold the
leaves.
• Once you return home, sort through your
leaves to find all of the different varieties.
• Get out your pencils, place a leaf under a
page, and start coloring over the leaf. The leaf
pattern will appear along with the veins and leaf
structure. It’s so cool! When you shade the leaf,
choose a colored pencil that best matches the
color of the leaf.
• Identify your leaf. Record its name, date,
and location found on the journal entry. You
can also glue your leaf onto the pages.
• Fill your journal with as many varieties as
possible. Enjoy your new collection! ��
Childhood means simplicity.
Look at the world with the child's
