Bartlett is such a great place to live and work. It is steeped in history – more than most people realize!

For instance, the Daily Herald has reported on this heartwarming story!;

How the oldest building in the village, the 137 year old train depot (the fifth oldest depot in the Chicago area) is being moved temporarily. The need for the move occurred when crews prepared to start renovations at the downtown building, they discovered the structure, built in 1873, lacked a foundation and rested on wooden timbers. Years of water damage threatened the building, which officials want to transform into a transportation museum.

The small, three room, 600 square foot building at 161 S. Oak Ave, Bartlett has been temporarily relocated so a new foundation can be constructed – do not worry, the building has only been moved 100 feet so a new foundation can be poured! It is expected that the building will be back on its plot by the summer, with the museum plans coming to fruition in 2011 – it will be Bartlett’s second museum.

This is definitely an unusual and heartwarming story about Bartlett, I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did.
