The Bartow Museum, a project of the Bartow Community Club, opens Phase One of the Museum in 2009. The
center piece of the Museum will be the town's 1859 depot. Extensions of the museum will include Heritage Park and "The Past
Lane", a one-of-a-kind tribute to life in Bartow during the first half of the 20th Century.
The museum will be about how the residents of this area lived during the past 250 years. It will also be about the amazing
number of famous folks who have called Bartow home.

WE WANT YOU INVOLVED!
The Museum Acquisitions Committee needs your help. We need items on loan or for tax deductible donation. And we need your
financial support. This is your museum, and we want you to become involved.
We are seeking photographs and a wide variety of objects for display. And, you have something stored away in your attic or
on some top shelf that belongs in the museum's wide variety of collections. We are looking for everything from farm equipment
to fancy needle work. American Indian relics from this area, Confederate money, old telephones, antique toys, railroad memoribilia,
and on and on are needed to complete displays. There's a loving home for the items you hold dear at the Bartow Museum.
We have already received some amazing items, such as the bell from Wood's Fort, a collection of American Indian artifacts,
rare documents and photos, and much more. Furthermore, we are receiving a great deal of professional help from museum architects,
landscape designers, The University of Georgia Hargrett Rare Book and Document Collection, The Bantam Auto Club, and numerous
other specialists who are excited about this venture. So, please get involved, too.
Contact Patsy Jordan 478-364-4030 or Charles Josey 404-252-8241 for additional information or to arrange for a loan or donation
of items for display and to learn how you can become involved through the donation of funds, time, talent and services.
