                                PART I
Item  1. Description of Business

General

Old Point Financial Corporation (the "Company") was incorporated under
the  laws  of  Virginia  on  February 16, 1984,  for  the  purpose  of
acquiring  all the outstanding common stock of The Old Point  National
Bank of Phoebus (the "Bank"), in connection with the reorganization of
the  Bank  into a one bank holding company structure.  At  the  annual
meeting   of  the  stockholders  on  March  27,  1984,  the   proposed
reorganization was approved by the requisite stockholder vote.  At the
effective  date  of the reorganization on October 1,  1984,  the  Bank
merged  into a newly formed national bank as a wholly owned subsidiary
of  the  Company, with each outstanding share of common stock  of  the
Bank being converted into five shares of common stock of the Company.

The  Company  has  no other subsidiaries and does not  engage  in  any
activities other than acting as a holding company for the common stock
of  the  Bank.   The  principal business of the Company  is  conducted
through  the  Bank,  which  continues  to  conduct  its  business   in
substantially the same manner and from the same offices as it had done
before the effective date of the reorganization.  The Bank, therefore,
accounts for substantially all of the consolidated assets and revenues
of the Company.

The  Bank is a national banking association founded in 1922.  The Bank
has  thirteen offices 1in the cities of Hampton and Newport News,  and
in  James City and York County, Virginia, and provides a full range of
banking  and related financial services, including checking,  savings,
certificates  of  deposit, and other depository services,  commercial,
industrial,  residential  real  estate  and  consumer  loan  services,
safekeeping services and trust and estate services.

As  of  December  31, 1997, the Company had assets of $348.7  million,
loans of $221.7 million, deposits of $287.1 million, and stockholders'
equity of $36.3 million.  At year end, the Company and the Bank had  a
total of 221 employees, 42 of whom were part-time.

Based on 1990 census figures, the population of the Bank's trade area,
which includes Hampton, Newport News, Williamsburg, and James City and
York County was approximately 394,000.  This area's economy is heavily
influenced  by  the two largest employers; military installations  and
shipbuilding  and  ship  repair.  These  industries  are  impacted  by
reductions  in defense spending and personnel.  Some of our  customers
are  either employed at the various military installations or  at  the
shipyard, or they derive some or all of their business from these  two
major  employers.   There are numerous military installations  in  the
area  including Fort Monroe, Langley Air Force Base, and Fort  Eustis.
The  consolidation of the Tactical Air Command and the  Strategic  Air
Command  into the Air Combat Command at Langley has somewhat mitigated
the reduction in military employment in the area.  The largest private
employer on the Peninsula is the Newport News Shipbuilding and Drydock
Company, which currently employees approximately 16,000 people.

The  banking  industry  is highly competitive in  the  Hampton/Newport
News/Williamsburg  area.   There  are approximately  nine  2commercial
banks  actively  engaged in business in the area  in  which  the  Bank
operates, including six major statewide banking organizations.

The  Bank  encounters competition for deposits and loans  from  banks,
savings and loan associations and credit unions in the communities  in
which it operates.  In addition, the Bank must compete for deposits in
some  instances with the money market mutual funds which are  marketed
nationally.

The Bank is subject to regulation and examination by the Office of the
Comptroller of the Currency, the Federal Reserve Board (the  "Board"),
and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the "FDIC").
                                    1

As  a  bank  holding company within the meaning of  the  Bank  Holding
Company Act of 1956, the Company is subject to the ongoing regulation,
supervision,  and  examination  by  the  Federal  Reserve  Board  (the
"Board").  The Company is required to file with the Board periodic and
annual  reports  and  other information concerning  its  own  business
operations  and those of its subsidiaries.  In addition,  prior  Board
approval must be obtained before the Company can acquire (i) ownership
or  control  of  any  voting shares of another  bank  if,  after  such
acquisition, it would control more than 5% of such shares, or (ii) all
or  substantially  all  of  the assets of another  bank  or  merge  or
consolidate with another bank holding company.  A bank holding company
is  prohibited  under  the  Bank Holding  Company  Act,  with  limited
exceptions, from engaging in activities other than those of banking or
of  managing  or  controlling  banks or  furnishing  services  to  its
subsidiaries.

The  Company  was liability sensitive as of December 31, 1997.   There
were  $85.6  million  more  in  liabilities  than  assets  subject  to
repricing  within  three months.  This generally  indicates  that  net
interest   income  should  improve  if  interest  rates   fall   since
liabilities  will  reprice faster than assets  .It  should  be  noted,
however,  that  savings deposits; which consist  of  interest  bearing
transactions  accounts, money market accounts, and  savings  accounts;
are  less interest sensitive than other market driven deposits.  In  a
rising  rate environment these deposit rates have historically  lagged
behind  the  changes in earning asset rates, thus mitigating  somewhat
the impact from the liability sensitivity position.

Loans are placed in nonaccrual status if principal or interest  has
been  in  default  for  a  period of 90 days  or  more  unless  the
obligation  is both well secured and in the process of  collection.
A  debt is "well secured" if it is secured (i) by collateral in the
form of liens on or pledges of real or personal property, including
securities,  that have a realizable value sufficient  to  discharge
the  debt  in  full  or  (ii)  by the  guaranty  of  a  financially
responsible  party.  A debt is "in the process  of  collection"  if
collection  of the debt is proceeding in due course either  through
legal  action,  including judgment enforcement procedures,  or,  in
appropriate circumstances, through collection efforts not involving
legal  action which are reasonably expected to result in  repayment
of the debt or in its restoration to a current status.

Potential problem loans consist of loans that, because of potential
credit  problems of the borrowers, have caused management  to  have
serious  doubts as to the ability of such borrowers to comply  with
the loan repayment terms.  At December 31, 1997 such problem loans,
not  included in Table VII, amounted to approximately $2.5 million.
The potential problem loans included two relationships in excess of
$500  thousand.  The potential problem loans are generally  secured
by  residential  and commercial real estate with  appraised  values
exceeding the principal balance of the loan.

IV. Summary of Loan Loss Experience

The  determination of the balance of the Allowance for Loan  Losses
is  based  upon  a  review and analysis of the loan  portfolio  and
reflects an amount which, in management's judgment, is adequate  to
provide  for possible future losses.  Management's review  includes
monthly  analysis  of past due and nonaccrual  loans  and  detailed
periodic loan by loan analyses.

The principal factors considered by management in determining the
adequacy of the allowance are the growth and composition of the
loan portfolio, historical loss experience, the level of
nonperforming loans, economic conditions, the value and adequacy of
collateral, and the current level of the allowance.

Item 7 Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations

      The  following  discussion  is intended  to  assist  readers  in
understanding  and evaluating the consolidated results  of  operations
and  financial  condition of the Company.  This discussion  should  be
read  in conjunction with the financial statements and other financial
information contained elsewhere in this report.  The analysis attempts
to  identify  trends  and material changes which occurred  during  the
period presented.

EARNINGS SUMMARY
  Net income was $4.09 million, or $1.60 per share in 1997 compared to
$3.45  million, or $1.35 per share in 1996 and $2.34 million, or $0.92
per  share in 1995.  Return on average assets was 1.23% in 1997, 1.10%
in  1996  and 0.80% in 1995.  Return on average equity was  11.88%  in
1997,  10.99%  in  1996 and 8.07% in 1995.  For the  past  five  years
return  on  average  assets has averaged 0.99% and return  on  average
equity  has averaged 10.05%.  Selected Financial Highlights summarizes
the Company's performance for the past five years.

NET INTEREST INCOME
      The principal source of earnings for the Company is net interest
income.   Net  interest income is the difference between interest  and
fees  generated by earning assets and interest expense  paid  to  fund
them.   Net  interest income, on a tax equivalent  basis,  was  $15.30
million in 1997, up $1.48 million, or 11% from $13.82 million in  1996
which  was up $1.42 million, or 11% from $12.40 million in 1995.   Net
interest  income is affected by variations in interest rates  and  the
volume  and  mix  of earning assets and interest-bearing  liabilities.
The  net interest yield increased to 4.91% in 1997 from 4.75% in  1996
which was up from 4.56% in 1995.

     Tax equivalent interest income increased $2.07 million, or 9%, in
1997.   Average  earning  assets grew $21.26 million,  or  7%.   Total
average   loans  increased  $17.99  million,  or  9%,  while   average
investment securities increased $2.27 million, or 2%.  Interest income
increased  in  1997  by  eleven  basis points  primarily  due  to  the
collection of interest on nonaccrual loans.

      Interest  expense  increased $588  thousand,  or  6%,  in  1997.
Interest bearing liabilities also increased 6% in 1997.  The  cost  of
funding liabilities increased two basis points due to the higher  cost
of  federal  funds purchased and securities sold under  agreements  to
repurchase and payments on interest bearing deposit accounts.

PROVISION/ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES
      Provision for loan losses is a charge against earnings necessary
to  maintain the allowance for loan losses at a level consistent  with
management's evaluation of the loan portfolio.  There was no change in
the  provision, remaining at $600 thousand in 1997 and 1996 which  was
down from $825 thousand in 1995.

      Loans charged off during 1997 totalled $868 thousand compared to
$925  thousand  in  1996 and $1.72 million in 1995,  while  recoveries
amounted  to  $609 thousand in 1997, $404 thousand in  1996  and  $499
thousand in 1995.  During 1996 a large portion of the charge offs were
in  the  installment loans to individuals portfolio which is comprised
of  loans  to individuals for personal expenditures such as  household
furniture  and  appliances and automobiles.   The  portfolio  includes
indirect  dealer loans which accounted for $35 million of $58  million
in  1996  and  $34  million of $67 million in 1997.  During  1996  the
Company  experienced  a significant increase in personal  bankruptcies
leading  to  higher charge offs of indirect dealer loans.   Since  the
beginning of 1996 the underwriting standards for dealer loans has been
raised  thus  reducing  indirect dealer  loans  charged  off  by  $186
thousand or 44% in 1997 from 1996.

   The Company's net loans charged off to year-end loans were 0.12% in
1997,  0.26%  in  1996,  and 0.64% in 1995.  The  allowance  for  loan
losses, as a percentage of year-end loans, was 1.20% in 1997, 1.17% in
1996, and 1.19% in 1995.
                                    15
<PAGE>

   As  of  December 31, 1997, nonperforming assets were $1.43 million,
down  from  $1.90 million at year-end 1996 which was down  from  $3.40
million  at year-end 1995.  Nonperforming assets consist of  loans  in
nonaccrual status and other real estate.  The 1997 total consisted  of
other  real  estate of $774 thousand and $660 thousand  in  nonaccrual
loans.   The  other  real  estate consisted  of  $354  thousand  in  a
commercial property originally acquired as a potential branch site and
now  held  for  sale  and  $420 thousand in  foreclosed  real  estate.
Nonaccrual  loans  consisted of $47 thousand in commercial  loans  and
$613  thousand in mortgage loans.  The Company has aggressively  dealt
with  these credits and specific action plans have been developed  for
each  of  these  classified loans to address any deficiencies.   Loans
still accruing interest but past due 90 days or more decreased to $455
thousand  as  of  December 31, 1997 compared to $1.34  million  as  of
December 31, 1996, but increased from $248 thousand as of December 31,
1995.

   The  allowance  for  loan  losses is analyzed  for  adequacy  on  a
quarterly basis to determine the required amount of provision for loan
losses.   A  loan-by-loan  review  is  conducted  on  all  significant
classified  commercial and mortgage loans.  Inherent losses  on  these
individual loans are determined and an allocation of the allowance  is
provided.  Smaller nonclassified commercial and mortgage loans and all
consumer  loans  are grouped by homogeneous pools with  an  allocation
assigned  to  each  pool based on an analysis of historical  loss  and
delinquency  experience,  trends,  economic  conditions,  underwriting
standards, and other factors.

OTHER INCOME
   Other  income  increased $138 thousand, or 3%  in  1997  from  1996
compared  to  an increase of $291 thousand, or 8% in 1996  from  1995.
The  1997  increase was due to higher Trust Services  fees  and  other
service  charge income.  The 1996 increase was due primarily to  Trust
Services fees and mortgage brokerage income.

OTHER EXPENSES
  Other expenses increased $638 thousand or 5% in 1997 over 1996 after
increasing  2%  in  1996  from 1995.  Salaries and  employee  benefits
increased $264 or 4% in 1997 due to normal salary increases and higher
medical insurance costs.  Occupancy expense increased $78 thousand, or
10%  in 1997 primarily due to higher maintenance costs associated with
repairs and remodeling of bank buildings.  Equipment expense increased
$65  thousand or 6% due to higher depreciation expense on new computer
systems  and  related  service contracts.   Other  operating  expenses
increased  $231  thousand  or 8%.  Legal fees,  postage  and  freight,
advertising, and marketing were the major factors for the increase  in
other  operating expenses.  The increase in legal fees is  due  higher
litigation fees.  The increase in advertising and marketing is related
to  generating loan and deposit growth.  The increase in  postage  and
freight is due to higher postage rates and increased mailings.

ASSETS
   At  December  31,  1997,  the Company had total  assets  of  $348.7
million,  up  10% from $316.3 million at December 31,  1996.   Average
assets in 1997 were $332.2 million compared to $313.0 million in 1996.
The growth in assets in 1997 was due to the increase in average loans,
which were up 9%.

   During  1996 the Company acquired land in the Oyster Point area  of
Newport  News  to  build a 15,000 square foot office  building.   When
completed  in  mid  1998  the  new  facility  will  house  the  Bank's
commercial  and  real estate lending offices and Trust  and  Financial
Services.  The Company has signed a contract to purchase a branch site
in   Norge,  VA.   The  Company  plans  to  build  a  new  branch   of
approximately 2,500 square feet.  The branch will provide full service
banking including consumer and business services.

LIQUIDITY
   Liquidity is the ability of the Company to meet present and  future
obligations through the acquisition of additional liabilities or  sale
of existing assets.  Management considers the liquidity of the Company
to  be  adequate.   Sufficient assets are maintained on  a  short-term
basis  to  meet  the liquidity demands anticipated by Management.   In
addition, secondary sources are available through the use of  borrowed
funds if the need should arise.

EFFECTS OF INFLATION
    Management   believes  that  the  key  to  achieving  satisfactory
performance in an inflationary environment is its ability to  maintain
or  improve  its  net interest margin and to generate  additional  fee
income.   The  Company's  policy  of investing  in  and  funding  with
interest-sensitive assets and liabilities is intended  to  reduce  the
risks inherent in a volatile inflationary economy.

YEAR 2000
   The  "Year  2000"  problem relates to the fact that  many  computer
programs  use two digits to define a year and assume that the  century
is 1900.  Therefore, these programs will not recognize the turn of the
century.   For example, the year 1998 is defined as "98" and the  year
2003  is  defined  as  "03".   Because the  assumed  century  is  1900
computers  recognize the year 2003, defined as  "03",  as  1903.   The
Company  is  aware  of the Year 2000 problem and is taking  action  to
ensure  that  all of its computer hardware and software will  be  Year
2000  compliant.   The  Company  has a  five-step  plan  to  identify,
correct, upgrade and test all of its hardware and software by the  end
of 1998.  A Year 2000 project team has been assembled which meets on a
monthly  basis  to monitor progress and address any  new  issues  that
might arise.

The Company has identified and cataloged all of its hardware and
software.  Software and hardware that is not Year 2000 compliant is
being identified and plans are being developed to upgrade and/or
replace hardware and software that is not Year 2000 compliant.
Additionally, the Company's vendors and major customers are being
contacted to determine their Year 2000 efforts so that the Company can
plan accordingly.

Operating and capital budgets incorporate projected expenditures
necessary to ensure that all systems are Year 2000 compliant.  At this
time management does not believe that related expenditures will have
an adverse material effect on the Company.

Independent Auditors' Report
To the Board of Directors
Old Point Financial Corporation
Hampton, Virginia
                                                                 
                                                                 
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of
Old Point Financial Corporation and subsidiary as of December 31,
1997 and 1996, and the related consolidated statements of income,
cash flows and changes in stockholders' equity for each of the
years in the three-year period ended December 31, 1997.  These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.
                                                                 
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
the consolidated financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the
consolidated financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
                                                                 
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to
above, present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated
financial position of Old Point Financial Corporation and
subsidiary as of December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the consolidated
results of their operations and cash flows for each of the years
in the three-year period ended December 31, 1997, in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.

    The Bank has had, and may be expected to have in the future, banking
    transactions in the ordinary course of business with directors,
    executive officers, their immediate families, and companies in which
    they are principal owners (commonly referred to as related parties),
    on the same terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those
    prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with others.  The
    aggregate direct and indirect loans of these persons totaled  $1.9 million
    and $2.0 million at December 31, 1997 and respectively.  These totals
    do not include loans made in the ordinary course of business to other
    companies where a director or executive officer of the Bank was also a
    director or officer of such company but not a principal owner.  None of
    the directors or executive officers had direct or indirect loans exceeding
    10% of stockholders' equity at December 31, 1997.

    The bank does not account for any of its loans under the provisions of
    Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 114 or 118 related to
    impaired loans.

NOTE 7, Indebtedness

    The Bank's short-term borrowings include federal funds purchased,
    securities sold under repurchase agreements (including $4.0 million
    to directors in 1997 and $2.5 million in 1996) and United States
    Treasury Demand Notes.  The federal funds purchased and securities

NOTE 8, Stock Option Plan (Continued)

    The Company accounts for its stock option plans in accordance with APB
    Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, which does not
    allocate costs to stock options granted at current market values.  The
    Company could, as an alternative, allocate costs to stock options using
    option pricing models, as provided in Statement of Financial Accounting
    Standards No. 123, Accounting  for Stock-Based Compensation.  Because of
    the limited number of options granted and the limited amount of trading
    activity in the Company's stock, management believes that stock options
    are best accounted for in accordance with APB Opinion No. 25.  However,
    had the stock options been accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 123,
    pro-forma amounts for net earnings and earnings per share would have been
    as follows for each of the years ending December 31:

                                      1997          1996          1995
     Pro-forma net income
      (in thousands)                 $4,041        $3,401        $2,313
                                     =======       ======        =======

     Pro-forma earnings per share    $1.57         $1.33         $0.91
                                     =====         =====         =====

    Pro-forma amounts were computed using a 6% risk free interest rate over a
    10 year term using an annual dividend rate of between 1.74% and 1.92%
    and a .01% volatility rate.

    The pro-forma effect of the potential exercise of stock options on basic
    earnings per share would be to increase the number of weighted average
    number of outstanding shares by approximately 14,000 in 1997, 16,000 in
    1996, and 9,000 in 1995.

    The Company also has an Employee Stock Purchase Plan which reserves 70,968
    shares of common stock for eligible employees.  The purchase price is 95%
    of the lesser of (1) the common stock's fair market value at July 1 or (2)
    the common stock's fair market value at the following June 30.
    During 1997, 4,032 shares of common stock were purchased by employees.

    NOTE 10, Lease Commitments

    The Bank has noncancellable leases on premises and equipment expiring
    at various dates, including extensions to the year 2011. Certain
    leases provide for increased annual payments based on increases in
    real estate taxes and the Consumer Price Index.

    The total approximate minimum rental commitment at December 31, 1997,
    under noncancellable leases is $807 thousand which is due as follows:

                of return on assets         8.0%            7.5%

NOTE 12, Profit Sharing

    The Bank has a defined contribution profit sharing and thrift plan
    covering substantially all of its employees.  The Bank may make profit
    sharing contributions to the plan as determined by the board of
    directors.  In addition, the Bank matches thrift contributions by
    employees fifty cents for each dollar contributed.  Expenses related
    to the plan totaled $258 thousand and $261 thousand in 1997
    and 1996, respectively.

NOTE 13, Commitments and Contingencies

    In the normal course of business, the Bank makes various commitments
    and incurs certain contingent liabilities.  These commitments and
    contingencies represent off-balance sheet risk for the Bank.  To meet
    the financing needs of its customers, the Bank makes lending commitments
    under commercial lines of credit, home equity loans and construction and
    development loans.  The Bank also incurs contingent liabilities related
    to irrevocable letters of credit.

         Off- balance sheet items at December 31, are as follows:

                                                           1997         1996
                                                         (Dollars in Thousands)
           Commitments to extend credit:
           Home equity lines of credit          $ 9,748      $ 9,442
           Construction and development
             loans committed but not funded       7,124        5,228
            Other lines of credit
               (principally commercial)          19,556       19,201
                                                -------      -------
                                                $36,428      $33,871
                                                =======      =======

                Irrevocable letters of credit   $   822      $ 1,071
                                                 ======      =======

    Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as
    long as there is no violation of any condition established in the
    contract.  Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other
    termination clauses and may require payment of a fee.  Since many of
    the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the
    total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash
    requirements.  The Bank evaluates each customer's credit worthiness
    on a case-by-case basis.  The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed
    necessary by the Bank, upon extensions of credit is based on management's
    credit evaluation of the customer.  Collateral held varies but may include
    accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment, and
    income-producing commercial properties.

    Standby letters of credit and financial guarantees written are conditional
    commitments issued by the bank to guarantee the performance of a customer
    to a third party.  Those guarantees are primarily issued to support private
    borrowing agreements.  Most guarantees extend for less than two years and
    expire in decreasing amounts through 1998.  The credit risk involved in
    issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in
    extending loans to customers.  The Bank holds various collateral supporting
    those commitments for which collateral is deemed necessary.

    The above presentation of fair values is required by the Statement of
    Financial Accounting Standards No. 107 "Disclosures about Market
    Values of Financial Instruments".  The fair values shown do not
    necessarily represent the amounts which would be received on sale
    or other disposition of the instrument.

    The carrying amounts of cash and due for banks, federal funds sold,
    demand and savings deposits and securities sold under repurchase
    agreements represent items which do not present significant market
    risks, are payable on demand or are of such short duration that the
    market value approximates carrying value.

    Investment securities are valued at the quoted market price for individual
    securities held.

    The fair value of loans is estimated by discounting future cash flows
    using current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers.

    Certificates of deposit are presented at estimated fair value using rates
    currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.

NOTE 15, Regulatory Matters

    The Company is required to maintain minimum amounts of capital to
    "risk weighted" assets, as defined by the banking regulators.  At
    December 31, 1997, the Company is required to have minimum Tier 1
    and Total capital ratios of 4.00% and 8.00% respectively.  The
    Company's actual ratios at that date were 15.06% and 16.19%.
    The Company's leverage ratio at December 31, 1997 was 10.32%.
    
    The approval of the Comptroller of the Currency is required if the
    total of all dividends declared by a national bank in any calendar
    year exceeds the bank's net profits for that year combined with its
    retained net profits for the preceding two calendar years.  Under
    this formula, the banking subsidiary can distribute as dividends to
    the Company in 1998, without approval of the Comptroller of the
    Currency, $5.6 million plus an additional amount equal to the Bank's
    retained net profits for 1998 up to the date of any dividend declaration.

Item   12.  Security  Ownership  of  Certain  Beneficial  Owners   and
Management

Security ownership of certain beneficial owners and management is
detailed in Part III, Item 10. of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.


Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions

Some of the Company directors, executive officers, and members of
their immediate families, and corporations, partnerships and other
entities of which such persons are officers, directors, partners,
trustees, executors or beneficiaries, are customers of the Bank. As of
December 31, 1997, borrowing by all policy making officers and
directors amounted to $1.9 million. This amount represented 5.0% of
the total equity capital accounts of the Company as of December 31,
1997.  All loans and commitments to lend included in such transactions
were made in the ordinary course of business, upon substantially the
same terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those
prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with other persons
and did not involve more than normal risk of collectibility or present
other unfavorable features. It is the policy of the Bank to provide
loans to officers who are not executive officers and to employees at
more favorable rates than those prevailing at the time for comparable
transactions with other persons. These loans do not involve more than
the normal risk of collectibility or present other unfavorable
features.  The Bank expects to have in the future similar banking
transactions with directors, officers, principal stockholders and
their associates.

     The law firm of Cumming, Hatchett and Jordan, P.C. serves as
legal counsel to the Bank. Mr. Eugene M. Jordan is a member of the
firm. During 1997, the firm received from the Bank a retainer and fees
totalling $85,576.  Morgan-Marrow Company, of which John B. Morgan, II
is President, provided insurance for which the Bank paid $98,785
during 1997.  Hampton stationery, of which John Cabot Ishon is the
owner, Geddy, Harris & Geddy, of which Stephen D. Harris is a partner,
and Warwick Plumbing & Heating Corp of which G. Royden Goodson, III is
President provided products and  services to the Bank during 1997.

EXHIBIT 3.  ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION AND BYLAWS

AMENDED: 04.25.95
       (ART. III-A - ENTIRETY)

                   ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION

                OLD POINT FINANCIAL CORPORATION


                            I.  Name

The name of the Corporation is Old Point Financial Corporation.

                          II.  Purpose

     The purpose for which the Corporation is organized is to act as a
bank holding company and to transact any and all lawful business, not
required to be specifically stated in the Articles of Incorporation,
for which corporations may be incorporated under the Virginia Stock
Corporation Act.

                      III.  Capital Stock

A.   General Authorization.  The Corporation shall have authority to
     issue 6,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $5.00 per
     share.

B.   No Preemptive Rights.  Shareholders shall have no preemptive
     rights to acquire any unissued shares of the Corporation.

C.   Cumulative Voting.  At all elections of directors of the
     Corporation, each holder of Common Stock shall be entitled to
     cast as many votes as shall equal the number of votes which he
     would be entitled to cast for the election of directors with
     respect to his shares of Common Stock multiplied by the number of
     directors to be elected, and he may cast all such votes for a
     single director or may distribute them among as many candidates
     as he may see fit.

               IV.  Certain Business Combinations

A.   Higher Vote for Certain Business Combinations.  The affirmative
     vote of the holders of not less than 75% of the outstanding
     shares of Common Stock of the Corporation shall be required for
     the approval or authorization of a Business Combination (as
     hereinafter defined). The foregoing shall not apply to a Business
     Combination, and such Business Combination shall require only
     such approval as is required by law, if it shall have been
     approved by the affirmative vote of at least 80% of the entire
     Board of Directors.

B.   Certain Definitions.  For purposes of this Article IV:

       1.A "Business Combination" shall mean (i) any merger or
       consolidation of the Corporation of a subsidiary with or into,
       or the exchange of shares of Common Stock of the Corporation
       for cash or property of, an Acquiring Person, (ii) any sale,
       lease, exchange or other disposition of all or substantially
       all of the assets of the Corporation or a subsidiary to or
       with an Acquiring Person, (iii) any reclassification of
       securities (including any reverse stock split),
       recapitalization or other transaction that would have the
       effect of increasing the voting power of an Acquiring Person,
       or (iv) any plan or proposal for the liquidation or
       dissolution of the Corporation proposed by or on behalf of an
       Acquiring Person.

       2.An "Acquiring Person" shall mean any individual, firm,
       corporation, trust or any other entity which:  (i)
       beneficially owns, together with its affiliates and associated
       persons, 5% or more of the outstanding shares of Common Stock
       of the Corporation; or (ii) though owning less than 5% of such
       shares, proposes or undertakes to obtain control or exercise a
       controlling influence over the Corporation as determined by
       the Board of Directors.

C.   Amendment or Repeal.  The provisions of this Article shall not be
     amended or repealed, nor shall any provision of these Articles of
     Incorporation be adopted that is inconsistent with this Article,
     unless such action shall have been approved by the affirmative
     vote of either:  (i) the holders of at least 75% of the
     outstanding shares of Common Stock; or (ii) 80% of the entire
     Board of Directors and the holders of the requisite number of
     shares required under Virginia law for the amendment of articles
     of incorporation.

D.   Certain Determinations by the Board of Directors.  When
     evaluating a proposed Business Combination, the Board of
     Directors of the Corporation shall, in connection with the
     exercise of its judgment in determining what is in the best
     interests of the Corporation and its stockholders, give due
     consideration not only to price or other consideration being
     offered, but also to all other relevant factors, including,
     without limitation, (i) the financial and managerial resources
     and future prospects of the Acquiring Person, (ii) the possible
     effects on the business, employees, customers and creditors of
     the Corporation and its subsidiaries. In evaluating any proposed
     Business Combination, the Board of Directors shall be deemed to
     be performing their duly authorized duties and acting in good
     faith and in the best interests of the Corporation and its
     stockholders.

     Any determination made in good faith by the Board of Directors,
     on the basis of information at the time available to it, whether
     (i) an individual, firm, corporation or other entity is an
     Acquiring Person, (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock
     beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by such person is
     more than 5% of the outstanding shares, or (iii) any individual,
     firm, corporation or other entity is an "affiliate" or
     "associated person" of an Acquiring Person, shall be conclusive
     and binding for all purposes of this Article IV.


                         V.  Directors

     The number of directors shall be fixed by the Bylaws. Absent any
Bylaw fixing the number of directors, that number shall be 25.

          VI.  Indemnification and Limit on Liability

A.   To the full extent permitted by the Virginia Stock Corporation
     Act, as it exists on the date hereof or may hereafter be amended,
     each director and officer shall be indemnified by the Corporation
     against liabilities, fines, penalties and claims imposed upon or
     asserted against him (including amounts paid in settlement) by
     reason of having been such director or officer, whether or not
     then continuing so to be, and against all expenses (including
     counsel fees) reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith,
     except in relation to matters as to which he shall have been
     finally adjudged liable by reason of his willful misconduct or a
     knowing violation of criminal law in the performance of his duty
     as such director or officer. The right of indemnification hereby
     provided shall not be exclusive of any other rights to which any
     director may be entitled.

B.   To the full extent that the Virginia Stock Corporation Act, as it
     exists on the date hereof or may hereafter be amended, permits
     the limitation or elimination of the liability of directors or
     officers, a director or officer of the Corporation shall not be
     liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary
     damages.

C.   The Board of Directors is hereby empowered, by a majority vote of
     a quorum of disinterested directors, to indemnify or contract in
     advance to indemnify any person not specified in subsection (A)
     of this Article against liabilities, fines, penalties and claims
     imposed upon or asserted against him (including amounts paid in
     settlement) by reason of having been an employee, agent or
     consultant of the Corporation, whether or not then continuing so
     to be, and against all expenses (including counsel fees)
     reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith, to the same
     extent as if such person were specified as one to whom
     indemnification is granted in subsection (a) of this Article.

D.   Every reference in this Article to director, officer, employee,
     agent or consultant shall include (i) every director, officer,
     employee, agent or consultant of the Corporation or any
     consultant of the Corporation or any corporation the majority of
     the voting stock of which is owned directly or indirectly by the
     Corporation, (ii) every former director, officer, employee, agent
     or consultant of the Corporation, (iii) every person who may have
     served at the request of or on behalf of the Corporation as a
     director, officer, employee, agent, consultant or trustee of
     another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other
     entity, and (iv) in all of such cases, his executors and
     administrators.


E.   The provisions of this Article VI shall be applicable from and
     after its adoption even though some or all of the underlying
     conduct or events relating to such a proceeding may have occurred
     before such adoption. No amendment, modification or repeal of
     this Article VI shall diminish the rights provided hereunder to
     any person arising from conduct or events occurring before the

                      DIRECTORS' MEETINGS

     3.1  Regular Meetings.  Regular meetings of the Board of
Directors shall be held annually, immediately following each annual
meeting of stockholders, for the purpose of electing officers and
carrying on such other business as may properly come before such
meeting, and, if necessary, immediately following each special meeting
of stockholders to consider and act upon any matter which may properly
come before such meeting. Any such meeting shall be held at the place
where the stockholders' meeting was held. The Board of Directors may
also adopt a schedule of additional meetings which shall be considered
regular meetings, and such meetings shall be held at the time and
place, within or without the Commonwealth of Virginia, as the Chairman
or, in his absence, the President shall designate.

     3.2  Special Meetings.  Special meetings of the Board of
Directors shall be held on the call of the Chairman, the President,
any three members of the Board of Directors or a majority of the Board
of Directors at the principal office of the Corporation or at such
other place as shall be designated.

     3.3  Telephone Meetings.  The Board of Directors may participate
in a meeting by means of conference telephone or similar
communications equipment whereby all persons participating in the
meeting can hear each other, and participation by such means shall
constitute presence in person at such meeting. When such a meeting is
conducted by means of conference telephone or similar communications
equipment, a written record shall be made of the action taken at such
meeting.

     3.4  Notice of Meetings.  No notice need be given of regular
meetings of the Board of Directors.

     Notice of special meetings of the Board of Directors shall be

the purpose for which the meeting is called.

     3.5  Quorum; Required Vote.  A majority of the directors shall
constitute a quorum for the transaction of business by the Board of
Directors. The act of the majority of the directors present at a
meeting at which a quorum is present shall be the act of the Board of
Directors unless the act of a greater number is required by law or
these Bylaws.

     3.6  Waiver of Notice.  Notwithstanding any other provisions of
law, the Articles of Incorporation or these Bylaws, whenever notice of
any meeting for any purpose is required to be given to any director a
waiver thereof in writing, signed by the person entitled to said
notice, whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be the
equivalent to the giving of such notice.

     A director who attends a meeting shall be deemed to have had
timely and proper notice of the meeting unless he attends for the
express purpose of objecting to the transaction of any business
because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened.

     3.7  Actions by Directors Without Meeting.  Any action required
to be taken at a meeting of the directors, or any action which may be
taken at a meeting of the directors, may be taken without a meeting if
a consent in writing, setting forth the action, shall be signed either
before or after such action by all of the directors. Such consent
shall have the same force and effect as a unanimous vote.


                           ARTICLE IV

                    COMMITTEES OF DIRECTORS

     4.1  Executive Committee.  The Board of Directors, by resolution
adopted by a majority of the number of directors fixed by these
Bylaws, may designate four or more directors to constitute an

Committee shall constitute a quorum. The Executive Committee shall
meet on the call of any of its members. Notice of any such meeting
shall be given by mail, telephone, telegraph or other means by the
close of business on the day before such meeting is to be held. The
Executive Committee shall have and may exercise all of the authority
of the Board of Directors except to approve (i) an amendment of the
Articles of Incorporation; (ii) a plan of merger or consolidation;
(iii) a plan of exchange under which the Corporation would be
acquired; (iv) the sale, lease or exchange, or the mortgage or pledge
for a consideration other than money, of all, or substantially all,
the property and assets of the Corporation otherwise than in the usual
and regular course of its business; (v) the voluntary dissolution of

Audit Committee consisting of not less than three directors, none of
whom shall be officers, which Committee shall regularly review the
adequacy of internal financial controls, review with the Corporation's
independent public accountants the annual audit and other financial
statements, and recommend the selection of the Corporation's
independent public accountants.

     The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of The Old Point
National Bank may also serve as the Audit Committee for the Board of
Directors of the Corporation.

     4.3  Other Committees.  The Board of Directors may designate such
other committees with limited authority as it may deem advisable.

     4.4  Telephone Meetings.  Committees may participate in meetings
by means of conference telephone or similar communications equipment
whereby all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other,
and participation by such means shall constitute presence in person at
such meeting. When such meeting is conducted by means of a conference
telephone or similar communications equipment, a written record shall
be made of the action taken at such meeting.

     4.5  Actions by Committees Without Meetings.  Any action which
may be taken at a committee meeting, may be taken without a meeting if
a consent in writing, setting forth the action, shall be signed either
before or after such action by all of the members of the committee.
Such consent shall have the same force and effect as an unanimous
vote.

     4.6  Committee Rules.  Unless the Board of Directors otherwise
provides, each committee designated by the Board of Directors may
adopt, amend and repeal rules for the conduct of its business. In the
absence of direction by the Board of Directors or a provision in the
rules of such committee to the contrary, a majority of the entire
authorized number of members of such committee shall constitute a
quorum for the transaction of business, the vote of a majority of the
members present at a meeting at the time of such vote if a quorum is
then present shall be the act of such committee. Except to the extent
that these Bylaws contain provisions to the contrary, in other
respects each committee shall conduct its business in the same manner
as the Board of Directors is required to conduct its business.
