    We owe so much to these forward looking historical preservationists who saved the 1833 Old Bank Building from the urban renewal wrecking ball in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Also, 2025 is the 60th anniversary of of the 1965 election of Dr. Fred Sabin as the first LF Historical Society president.
