Small But Mighty

The Essex community may be small, but their history is mighty. Platted in 1870, Essex covers only 1.5 square miles, but their history and friendship knows no bounds. Famous for Kitchen-Klatter, a radio show that was considered a friend for rural women, was pioneered by Leanna Field Driftmier, an Essex school teacher. It’s a small but mighty community and the Bank Iowa team feels so privileged to be a part of it.
