Heritage Days 2024

It’s that time of year and we can’t wait to celebrate!

The community celebration began in 1956 to mark the prosperity brought about by industrial expansion, which included the railroad, lumber business, and the Anaconda Aluminum Company.

Freedom Bank is honored to have been a part of Columbia Falls’ growth over the past 19 years. Just like many of our customers, Freedom Bank is a local business. It has been inspiring to participate and watch the community grow as we support it. As a small community bank, Freedom Bank provides personalized financial guidance tailored to the unique needs and goals of each business owner and individual and offers customized solutions to help the community achieve their goals. Freedom Bank recently expanded our services to help businesses and consumers with digital banking tools. Stop by to find out more. We want to be your bank!

Freedom Bank is a main sponsor of the Open Rodeo at the Blue Moon Arena and a proud partner of the Columbia Falls Community Market.
