History:
On
December
23,
2005,
the
Bartlett
History
Museum
relocated
into
the
newly
constructed
Bartlett
Village
Hall.
The
museum
The
now
has
a
one-third
larger
exhibit
area,
use
of
a
multipurpose
room,
and
much
needed
archival
storage
space
for
the
collection.
This
is
the
fifth
home
for
Bartlett's
wonderful
history.
The
museum
took
root
in
1973,
when,
spurred
by
the
nation's
forthcoming
bicentennial
celebration,
local
residents
formed
the
Bartlett
Historical
Society.
The
society¿¿¿s
goal
was
to
collect
historical
artifacts,
literature
and
photos
to
highlight
Bartlett
and
United
States
history.
The
society
supported
its
operations
through
membership
dues
and
fundraisers.
The
Village
of
Bartlett
trustees
approved
a
resolution
on
March
6,
1973,
that
stated
the
Village¿¿¿s
support
and
encouragement
for
the
Bartlett
Historical
Society.
Through
the
years
the
Village
helped
the
society
by
providing
two
different
homes,
owned
by
the
Village,
for
use
as
museum
space.
Initially,
the
artifacts
collected
by
the
society
were
displayed
in
a
small
showcase
in
the
Bartlett
Village
Hall
but
the
dream
of
a
permanent
home
for
the
beginning
collection
became
a
reality
ten
years
later.
In
1983,
the
society
leased
an
old
house
on
South
Oak
Street
from
the
Village.
The
house
was
converted
into
a
small
museum
that
was
open
a
few
hours
each
Sunday
afternoon.
