History

Nicholas Gotten immigrated from

Until the late 1970s, the Gotten House was owned by the City of Bartlett and used as the Bartlett Police Station.[6] In the early 1980s, the house was leased by the City of Bartlett to the Bartlett Historic Society in a 50-year contract for $1 per year, to save the house from planned demolition and to refurbish the property.^[7] The structure became the seat of the Bartlett Historic Society, and since 1990 it has housed the Bartlett Museum.^[8] Exhibits on display at the museum are of relevance to local history: the collection includes photographs, written documents on the history of Bartlett, artifacts, and period furniture.^[9] The museum is open to the public every first and third Sunday of the month from 2-4 pm. Admission to the museum is free.

On March 20, 2002, the house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.^[1] After a $100,000 renovation in 2007, which included authentic new windows, doors and fixtures, the Gotten house was declared a Bartlett Historic Landmark by the Bartlett Historic Preservation Commission in 2008.^[5]
