TOLEDO SWORD DISPLAY
The Payson Historical Society is proud to announce a new display that can be seen at the Peteeneet Museum during April, May and June. Dale Barnett, the current President of People Preserving Peteetneet, has graciously consented to display his collection of swords and various pieces of ceramics that he and his wife, Gloria collected during their many travels throughout the world as part of his business.
Dale founded Payson Sheet Metal many years ago. His company is widely recognized for their work with the L. D. S. Church and their temples. His company does the TABB (Testing, Adjusting, and Balance) program in all the temples throughout the world. On his many travels to Spain, he acquired a large collection of Toledo swords.
Toledo is famous for its historical character, art and its steel. It is difficult to know the exact date when swords and knives began being made in the city. It is beyond doubt that this industry is as old as the town itself.
During the 15th, 16th and 17th Centuries craftsmen from throughout Europe came to Toledo to learn from the artisans the secret of making the blades the city was known for.
The fame of the Toledo steels was rooted in the mastery with which some artificers handled tempering without any technical knowledge of measuring, by far, the adequate temperatures for such treatment. The temperatures were known by the color of the red-hot steel and the immersion into water. People related the quality of the tempering to the water of the Tagus River in which the swords were tempered.
Dale has a collection of many swords including examples of swords used by El Sid, Richard the Lionheart, Sir Lancelot, Ivanhoe, Robin Hood, Don Quixote, Alexander the Great, Columbus, Prince Valiant, and Charlemagne among others. There is also on display a small suit of armor and a warrior mounted on his horse.
This display is one of the finest that we have had the opportunity to display as part of the Payson Historical Society exhibits.

PETEETNEET GROUNDS BEAUTIFICATION
PETEETNEET GROUNDS BEAUTIFICATION
The time is fast approaching for the annual flower planting at the Peteetneet Museum. We would like to encourage church groups, youth groups, scouts, Payson City employees, PPP members and any other interested individuals to come and help us plant flowers and beautify our grounds for the coming summer and fall season.
The more volunteers, the less time it takes to get everything planted. The tentative date for planting will be either May 7 or 14. This date is subject to the weather and the delivery of flowers. The exact time will be made available as it gets closer. Watch the Chronicle, our Peteetneet Blogspot or you may call Ray Wilson at 801-465-4192 or Janeen Dean at the Peteetneet Museum at 801-465-5265.
Each volunteer will be provided with flowers to plant, but it is asked that each person bring their own hand tools, shovels, etc. We are encouraging groups to adopt a planter to weed and care for during the summer. We appreciate the volunteers who take time to come and assist us in this activity.

ANTIQUE AND VINTAGE EXPO
All proceeds from this fundraiser will benefit our beautiful Historic Peteetneet Museum & Cultural Arts Center which was established in 1901.

In 1988, the school was restored and turned into a cultural center and museum offering plenty of ongoing activities and instruction to the community.
Each year volunteers donate almost 12,000 hours of their time to share the museum with visitors. The museum and cultural arts center hosts over 34,000 visitors each year.

CALIFORNIA MISSION BELL
CALIFORNIA MISSION BELL
This mission bell was salvaged from one of the 21 missions established by the Franciscan Order in the late 1700s and early 1800s in early California. Most of the missions collapsed or were destroyed and a few of the original ones remained. Many have been rebuilt in recent years and their bells were recast from molds of the original bells. This bell was probably made in Spain in the late 1700s and installed in the mission after 1790.
The bell was given to Dale and Gloria Barnett many years ago by John (Dutch) Patten who had salvaged the bell. He was an uncle of Dale's. Dutch was born in Payson. He also gave the Barnetts other historical items: two oxen yokes, oxen shoes, old bridle bits, and an Indian papoose cradle.
The Barnetts decided the bell should become part of the collection of the Peteetneet Museum. It was donated to the Peteetneet along with the small bell tower to house it and the plaques that sits in front of the bell tower.
The following donated their service and/or materials for the construction:
Engineered by Tom DeGraw
Masonry work by Doug May
Red sandstone from Kanab by V. L. Barnett
Installed by Rick DeGraw, Gary DeGraw, Sargent Barnett and Dale Barnett

THANKS TO THE PPP PRESIDENT--DALE BARNETT
THANKS FOR ALL THAT YOU DO FOR PETEETNEET
The People Preserving Peteetneet Executive Board and Board of Trustees would like to take this opportunity to thank our President, Dale Barnett for all that he does for the Peteetneet. He always sees what needs to be done and then he usually takes it upon himself to take care of the problem or the situation himself without bothering anyone else..
He has been involved with the new mission bell monument that has been erected on the southeast corner of the building. He donated the original California Mission Bell that an uncle gave him many years ago.
The new bell tower was erected under his direction with a number of volunteers donating their time and talents to erect the new additon. Dale had assembled the brick and stone work and a local mason donated the work to complete the base of the tower.
Dale created the metal top and the bracket for the bell. He later had a beautiful plaque made to tell the history of the bell.
Dale also had a plaque made for the new gazebo and this will be installed as soon as the weather permits.
Everything Dale does for the Peteetneet shows that love that he and his late wife, Gloria, had for this beautiful old building.
Thanks again, Dale, for all that you do. You are appreciated by everyone who volunteers their time at the museum.
