PAYSON SENIOR CITIZENS WOODCARVING EXHIBIT

The Payson Senior Citizens Annual Woodcarving Exhibit is now on display at the Peteetneet Museum.  This annual exhibit has been on display during January and will continue through the month of February.  The exhibit was started many years ago by Gene Colvin.  He oversaw the wood carvers at the Senior Citizens Center and was also  a member of  the Payson Historical Society and served as a Trustee of People Preserving Peteetneet.  Since the death of Mr. Colvin.  Bob Dailey has worked with the carvers at the Senior Center and has graciously continued the program that Mr. Colvin established at the Peteetneet.  The Peteetneet and our visitors look forward each year to see the many new carvings displayed by our local seniors.  We are amazed at the talent and hard work that goes into each carving.
Don't miss the opportunity to see this outstanding display in the Peteetneet Historical Room.

Former PPP President Passes Away

 Dr. Gordon Sterling Taylor

Former Payson City Mayor, Past President of People Preserving Peteetneet and one of the main individuals who helped save and restore the Historic Peteetneet School,  passed away on Friday, January 8, 2016. A viewing will take place this Friday, followed by funeral services on Saturday. 

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

DALE BARNETT PRESIDENT OF PEOPLE PRESERVING PETEETNEET (PPP)
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.
