The Bartlett History Museum is looking for personal remembrances, photos, slides and especially movie movies from the annual Bartlett Volunteer Firemen's Festivals which were held from 1938 to 1969 in Bartlett Park. This marks the 75th anniversary of the start of this beloved event, pictured here in 1960, and the museum will be creating an exhibit about it. Please contact Pam Rohleder, museum director, at 630-837-0800 or prohleder@vbartlett.org to share.
