Woowee;  the Carlisle County Museum and Library is all grown up!

From our meager beginnings in 2008, occupying the old Stockton and Tackett Storefront on Front Street in Bardwell to a building on US Hwy 51 that the membership of the Bardwell Methodist Church  graciously donated to the museum and library. We have arrived in 2014!

This is a building that all residents and visitors to our community can be proud to enter.  The board is working hard to stock the bookshelves and the museum items and artifacts so that everyone will find something to like.  It won't be long till we fling open our doors and all can enter and enjoy.

Some of the wonderful things taking place are

�         Look for our new sign out front, it's a beaut

�         We have new bookshelves so it will be easier to find that book you so wanted to read

�         We will have 4 to 6 computers available for adults and children to use for homework or other research projects

�         We have some ideas for use of the upstairs - you'll be surprised and pleased

�         Each community in Carlisle County will be represented with its own display

These are just some of the things now taking place for your pleasure and entertainment, but there are always those things that take place behind the scenes and you may not notice them.  We will soon need a new roof on the building, we also have some leakage in a strong rain, outside needs painting, a ramp for easier handicap entry, and other issues of this kind. 

This is where you can help!  We are asking for your donation. As a showing of our appreciation we will furnish you with an engraved brick with your name and anything else you wish to say.  These bricks will be placed in a prominent place on museum grounds (a wall - a walkway, etc) and your donation will be known to all who visit the museum and library.  In the following pages the way to get your own individual brick will be explained.

Thank you for your help and for visiting with us.  Your donation will be appreciated!
