Overview

Bartlett was once a booming railroad and cotton producing town with a commercial center that is now a virtual ghost town. Lurking within its abandoned buildings is a fascinating history ripe for exploration.

Very nice lady who has worked hard to make town better. Learned some of history of place and hope to return. Little walking but worth it for what you see. Hope town grows.

Great Time!!!

What a fun evening to learn some local history and lore. We have lived in Bartlett for many years and learned so many things that we never knew about our little town. Thank you Jennifer Welch for a great time!!!
