BARTLETT HISTORICAL SOCIETY The Bartlett Historical Society (BHS) is dedicated to the citizens of Bartlett PAST, PRESENT and FUTURE. The BHS is responsible for the maintenance and operations of the Bartlett Museum, located in the historic Gotten House (pictured in background on this page). The BHS assists the City of Bartlett in maintaining the Gotten House itself. We also maintain historical records on Bartlett, the families who have lived in Bartlett and their descendants. These records are available for research at themuseum.
BHS members are actively involved in preserving the day-to-day history of Bartlett. We collect information, artifacts and photographs; present oral histories; help to maintain the Gotten House; and operate the Bartlett Museum.
The BHS also stages several special events, including a Living History Tour in the fall, a Christmas party, an old-fashioned Christmas cookie swap, and other special events. We meet on the second Monday of every month at 7:30 at the Gotten House at 2969 Court Street. The Bartlett Museum is open the first and third Sundays of every month from 2:00-4:00 pm.
For information on how to join the BHS you may attend any of the monthly meetings, visit the museum, or you may contact Ruth Farris at 372-6982. |
