As Bartlett celebrates its 125th anniversary this year, the village will be sure to reflect on the iconic images that define the town.
The Bartlett Park gazebo, of course, comes to mind. And you can't think about Bartlett without paying homage to its rail history.
In 1873, village founder and farmer Luther Bartlett donated 40 acres of his family's land to pave the way for a train depot, nearly two decades before his namesake town officially was incorporated.
But what about the not-so-well known spots? The hidden jewels of Bartlett?
We recently spent some time exploring Bartlett, taking photographs of both the familiar and the more obscure places.
Look for a new “Icons of ...” town gallery every Sunday at dailyherald.com/galleries and on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter. On our social media sites, share your favorite Bartlett photos with us by using #shareyoursuburb.
And tell us what photos are your favorites. Which ones stir a memory for you? Where do you love to go in town?
