    This spring, Bath Savings is celebrating its 170th anniversary. Incorporated by the Maine legislature on April 19, 1852, Bath Savings is proud to still be a Maine-based mutual organization, managed and controlled locally.

    Today, Bath Savings operates with the same name, in the same city, and even on the same street as it did 170 years ago. Since the founding of the flagship branch on Front Street in Bath, Bath Savings has expanded to 10 locations, including Damariscotta (1969), Brunswick (1987), Falmouth (1992), Freeport (1993), Yarmouth (1996), Boothbay Harbor (1999), Portland (2004), South Portland (2012), and Westbrook (2021). Bath Savings also established a wholly owned subsidiary, Bath Savings Trust Company, in 1989.

    “Throughout Bath Savings’ long history, there was been one constant – our commitment to providing exceptional service without exception,” said Glenn Hutchinson, president since 1995. “It is an honor to watch our communities grow and thrive, and we are so grateful that Mainers have put their trust in Bath Savings for 170 years.

    To celebrate the anniversary, each branch is raffling off a gift basket featuring products from businesses in their community. Visit any branch to enter, winner will be drawn at noon on April 19.
