This vibrant community organization, formed in 1992, has revitalized what was once a dying town. Through the Club's efforts, funds have been raised for the restoration of the former Bartow Schoolhouse, which has been transformed into the Bartow Community Center. The building now contains a banquet facility and professionally equipped theater. The Club provides on-going financial support for Bartow's various needs, including park improvements, restoration of the town's historic depot, and more.

The Community Club holds monthly meetings at the Bartow Community Center on the first Thursday of each month at 7 P.M. A covered dish supper precedes each meeting, and entertainment follows. Also sponsored by the Club are the annual Speir's Turnout Festival and reunions of the Bartow School. The Club publishes cookbooks, one of which achieved best-seller status. To date, the Bartow Community Club's most ambitious undertaking has been hosting the 2000 American Austin Automobile-Bantam Car Club Rally, which celebrated the 100^th anniversary of the birth of Roy Evans, a Bartow native who pioneered the jeep and the Bantam Car. A mini rally followed in 2007.
