HISTORY

Proposed new main office location, One East College Street, Murfreesboro

       The MidSouth journey began in January 2003 when founders Jack O. Weatherford, Lee Moss, and Ben Weatherford announced their plans to establish a locally owned community bank. They recognized the need for a new bank with two key ingredients. The first was to have a broad base of ownership comprising Rutherford County residents and secondly, to have experienced, successful bankers who are passionate about the community.

       This combination of expertise and passion led MidSouth to become the highest capitalized new bank in the history of Tennessee. Organizers received tremendous community response as individuals subscribed to over $30 million dollars in stock in less than five months from the initial subscription date. The overwhelming support from the community confirmed the need the executive team recognized for a second locally owned Rutherford County bank. MidSouth's solid beginnings and its location in the fastest growing county in the state puts it on the road to further success.

COMMITMENT TO COMMUNITY
       MidSouth Bank is committed to serving the entire community now, and into the future. This commitment began early with the decision to open in one of Murfreesboro's most recognized historic structures. The former First United Methodist Church building was preserved from possible demolition when it was purchased by MidSouth organizers in July 2003. Erected in 1886, the 123-year-old sanctuary survived the devastating tornado of 1913. It will be preserved as the future lobby and cornerstone of our main office. Preservation of this notable structure not only provides a beautiful building to call home, it also further evidences our commitment to the community and its heritage.

       The former sanctuary's gymnasium has been remodeled to serve as the bank's lobby with drive-up window capabilities. Along with general renovations of the building, a multi-story administrative building will be constructed in the future adjacent to the lobby along East College Street. The addition will be designed to complement the historical architecture of the original building, while offering modern conveniences.  Final plans are currently in development.

       In addition to the four Murfreesboro offices, customers are served by two branch offices in Smyrna. These offices are staffed with over 75 hand selected and experienced personnel.  We strive to provide customers with a true hometown experience that cannot be matched.  Everyone in the MidSouth family welcomes your visit and the opportunity to serve you as Rutherford County’s only hometown bank.
