The Henryetta Historical Society is proud to announce a $5,000 gift from American Exchange Bank. “This gift is decisive as it will allow us to finally complete long-delayed repairs on the museum building,” Brad Sellers, treasurer of the Henryetta Historical Society said. “This generous gift places American Exchange among our top recent donors, and brings total support from the banking sector to $12,000. The Society would also like to announce that it is pursuing formal partnership with the Oklahoma Historical Society in Oklahoma City - a cooperative effort that will bring significant benefits to both Henryetta history and to Oklahoma history.” Pictured from left are Mack Savala, field representative for Senator James Lankford; Brad Sellers; Keith Hare, American Exchange Bank President and Tony Collett, vice-president of the Henryetta Historical Society.
