The Culpeper Switch

horizontal rule

Culpeper Switch ExteriorNestled in the hills of Culpeper County, Virginia, near some of the major battles of the Civil War, is the Federal Reserve System's Communications and Research Center - home of the Culpeper Switch.

Housed in a highly secured, concrete and steel building carved into Mount Pony, the switch plays an integral role in helping to insure the smooth transfer of funds and United States government securities among Federal Reserve member commercial banks throughout the nation - a prerequisite for a properly functioning banking and credit system

The information and drawings above have been taken from a 1975 brochure on the Culpeper Switch, published by the Federal Reserve Banks of New York and Richmond.
