Education Program Real Winner at Golf Tournament
T
he Kennesaw Museum Foundation’s 9th annual Great Locomotive Chase Golf Tournament raised more than $34,000 for the Southern Museum of Civil War and Locomotive History April 14 at the Cobblestone Golf Course in Acworth. The tournament, presented by Carl Black Buick/Pontiac/GMC, hosted 126 golfers for a day of fun that started with breakfast from the Great Harvest Bread Company and included lunch and snacks from Hooters. Later, the Kennesaw Business Association hosted a low country shrimp boil for the group. “I think everyone had a great time for a great cause – preserving our past so future generations can enjoy it,” Southern Museum Executive Director Jeff Drobney said. “The money raised goes to help foster a better understanding of our history in our community, especially with children.” (Golf sponsors listed on back page)
Learn how to take care of your most valuable collectibles and heirlooms from senior Smithsonian Institution conservator Don Williams and author Louisa Jaggar in a fun and interactive seminar June 21 at the Southern Museum of Civil War and Locomotive History. Williams and Jaggar are co-authors of the new book “Saving Stuff” that details how to protect old photographs, wedding dresses, toys, china, silver, and other sentimental and valuable items from falling to pieces. They will share their experiences with the audience, then demonstrate preservation techniques. Audience members are encouraged to bring a small item (small enough to fit into a shopping bag), as Williams and Jaggar will spend part of the evening giving them specific advice about how to protect their own heirlooms. This entertaining and informative seminar begins at 7 PM and will conclude with a book signing. Tickets are $5
for members, $7 for nonmembers. Brought to the Southern Museum by Smithsonian Affiliations.
Picturing the Century Members’ Sneak Preview • July 15, 7-9 PM Get the first look at the stunning Picturing the Century: 100 Years of Photography from the National Archives exhibit July 15, with a special, membersonly tour of the exhibit with senior Smithsonian curator Bruce Bustard, Ph.D. Enjoy a light reception while viewing photographs that capture the spirit of America. Call (770) 427-2117, ext. 100 to RSVP. Picturing the Century was created by the National Archives and Records Administration and organized for travel by the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service (SITES).
Fun for All Ages Planned
E
scape the heat this summer with a cool trip to the Southern Museum of Civil War and Locomotive History! A variety of exciting events are planned for both children and adults.
FREE Children’s Events The Museum is offering two summer programs for children: So You Want to Be a Civil War Soldier? on June 15 and So You Want to Be a Railroad Engineer? on July 13. Each program lasts from 10
AM - 12 Noon and is available to kids aged 6-12. Space is limited, so register early by calling (770) 427-2117, ext. 110. Free for members or $5 for non-members. For more about these innovative programs, visit www.southernmuseum.org and click on the “Calendar” section.
Family Events Kids and adults of all ages will enjoy these special summer events such as the (continued on back page)
From the
Executive Director Jeff Drobney, Ph.D. With summer right around the corner your thoughts are probably turning to “What are we going to do this summer to keep the kids, not to mention ourselves, entertained?” If your budget is anything like my family’s the prospect of near record gasoline prices combined with increased prices for hotels and food means our annual trek to the beach will probably turn into a few days spent beachside at the Atlantic Ocean Wave Pool at Whitewater or Sun Valley Beach. In other words, we will probably vacation right here. And why not? Cobb County has numerous opportunities for fun and relaxation without the hassle of packing the kids and driving eight hours. That alone is reason enough to cancel our annual pilgrimage to the Gulf Coast. I imagine our summer will include a day or two at Six Flags, an evening concert at the Mable House Amphitheatre, a leisurely bike ride along the Silver Comet Trail, a visit to the Chattahoochee Nature Center and of course visits to the many museums in the County. If you’re not certain what Cobb has to offer, visit the Cobb County Convention & Visitor’s Bureau website at www.cobbcvb.com or call 1-800-451-3480. Don’t forget the many programs offered at the Southern Museum this summer. From our living history encampments, to the Smithsonian sponsored “Picturing the Century” exhibit, to our bus tour retracing the route of the Great Locomotive Chase, to our children’s programs, we promise to offer you and your family many opportunities to stay involved. If you need any information on these or other programs please call 770-427-2117 ext 100. Hope to see you this summer.

Volunteer Focus: Marlene Smith
A
human time machine, Marlene Smith likes traveling - whether she’s traveling to another country or just taking a little trip through history. For over a year now, she has volunteered over 100 hours in the education department at the Museum, exchanging historical knowledge with visitors. “I do it because I love history,” she said. Jennifer Legates, director of education, says she gives more to the Museum than knowledge. “Marlene is a dedicated volunteer who regularly welcomes visitors to the Museum,” she said. “Her smiling face and calm demeanor are a joy to visitors and staff alike.” Usually volunteering on Saturdays, one of the busiest days of the week, Marlene explains the different areas of the Museum to visitors and helps answer their questions. “So many people love trains and worked for the railroads and have great pride in what they did,” she said, explaining that she was surprised to learn how many train buffs there are when she started volunteering. “I learn
more from them than they could ever learn from me.” Before volunteering at the Museum, Marlene received a history degree at Kennesaw State University. Soon after, she traveled to England with a Historic Preservation program where she studied historic structures. “I’m more into the people though – the cultural and social stuff,” she said. Currently, Marlene is looking forward to vacationing in Greece visiting the Parthenon and Catacombs, acting as a history expert of sorts for her sister’s family. With a brother in Houston and sisters in Manhattan and Orlando, she gets to travel quite a bit in this country, visiting historic sites and museums. Marlene works full time as a pension administrator for MetLife Insurance and lives happily with her Maltese dog, Baker, in Kennesaw.
Charity Chastain, Tour Coordinator
T
he Southern Museum welcomed a new staff member to the education department in April. Charity Chastain supports the Museum by taking reservations for group tours and school field trips and coordinating the staff for each tour. “Charity is a talented addition to the education department,” said Jennifer Legates, director of education. “Her interest in museums and experience working with children should prove to be a valuable asset. I’m excited to have her join the team!” A native of Georgia, Charity was surprised to learn about the Great Locomotive Chase and the Glover Factory for the first time as an adult. “You would think I would have learned that in school here in Georgia!” She particularly enjoys helping give
tours when there is a large group so she can share her newly acquired information. “I like being able to interact with the kids as much as I can because that’s what my degree was really focused on,” she said. “(I like to) just get them really interested in the subject.” Charity graduated from Kennesaw State University’s College of Education in 2002 with a degree in Secondary Social Science Education with a special interest in U.S. History. She decided that instead of being a teacher, she’d rather work in a museum where she could be surrounded by one of her favorite subjects: history. For several years, she has volunteered at the Booth Western Art Museum in Cartersville where she enjoyed learning about art history. An enthusiast of history and education, Charity is truly a perfect fit for the Southern Museum.
A Special THANK YOU to Mr. Ralph Jones of Covington, Georgia By Senior Curator George Deeming
N
ow on exhibit in the Southern Museum lobby is a beautiful model of a heavyweight Pullman private business car named the “Cascade Pass.” The model is patterned after a similar car owned by circus mogul John Ringling, the “Jomar,” originally built in 1917 by the Pullman Car Company of Illinois and another private car built by the Canadian Pacific Railroad for its general superintendent. The car is 1/8th scale, which is 1 1/2” to the foot, and the model is 10 feet long and close to a foot and a half wide. The car contains a kitchen, stewards’ bedroom, dining room with a solid cherry table, secretary’s bedroom with a cherry desk, bathroom, shower, master bedroom, observation room/sunroom, and a deep observation platform. The car is modeled after a heavyweight Pullman car on 6-wheel equalized roller bearing trucks. It has working electric lighting and has actually operated on a live steam miniature railroad, The Canton, St. Paul, and Pacific Railroad of Canton, Georgia. This car, and three other large scale model railroad passenger cars, were entirely hand built and donated by Ralph Jones of Covington, Georgia. They are all filled with spectacular detail. Jones hand drew the plans, ordered what parts he could, and made the rest in his home workshop. This includes chairs, tables, lamps, toilets, carpets, window shades, framed artwork, newspapers, books, and even the kitchen sink. Jones admits that he needed help with a few of the details and credits Gertrude Reeves with the upholstering and his daughter, Nancy E. Andretta, with decorating expertise. Jones also thanks the Mountain Car Company of Salem, Va., for its assistance and expertise in helping move the cars along to completion. The time involved in the design and build process, which amounted to about
revenues on the “Nancy Hanks,” a train 10 years, resulted in Jones first obtaining that operated between Atlanta and photographs of the cars and working up Savannah.

Special Events, Interpretive Programs Kick Off Summer By Director of Education Jennifer Legates
T
his summer we are offering two programs that allow children to explore their dreams. Has your child ever wanted to learn about what it might be like to operate a locomotive or drill like a Civil War soldier? If so, we have the programs for them! On June 15 the Southern Museum will hold “So You Want to Be a Civil War Soldier?” and on July 13 “So You Want to Be a Railroad Engineer?” Each program is open to children 6-12 and reservations are required. For more info and registrations, contact Charity Chastain at 770-427-2117 ext. 110. In celebration of the General’s 150th birthday, we are hosting several exciting events to mark the occasion.

Tickets are $30 for members ($35 regular) and advance registration is required. Please contact 770-427-2117 ext. 110 for information and reservations.

So help us celebrate the locomotive that helped put Kennesaw on the map! This summer our daily interpretive programs will help bring history to life for thousands of Museum visitors.

Interns Help Process SRHA Collection By Assistant Archivist C. Pat Cates
T
he Archives Department continues working on a number of projects. For the past several months the department has benefited from the services of two interns from Kennesaw Mountain High School. Sara Brabender and Cashin Riddell have made valuable contributions in the processing of materials we have received from the Southern Railway Historical Association. One of their largest projects was the archival sorting and storage of the Interstate Commerce Commission Valuation files. These early 1900 files give a technical inventory of property along the railroad.

The interns have also assisted the department through a number of other projects including the cataloguing of the railroad magazines in the archives collection and in organizing hundreds of photographs from the Southern Railway Historical Association collection. The department has recently acquired some filing cabinets in which the photographs will be filed. The Archives Department is also pleased to announce that it has acquired scanning and printing technology that will make photographs and documents in the collection available to the public. There is also progress being made in the Civil War collection. This collection dates back to the opening of the Museum when it was customary to accept almost any donation given to the Museum. The materials that were determined to be of
Museum Acquires Civil War Research Library
T
he Kennesaw Museum Foundation recently purchased a collection of Civil War research books to add to the Southern Museum’s growing collection. “The collection includes a number of significant volumes and will be a great resource for historians,” Museum Executive Director Jeff Drobney said. “As soon as the books are inventoried and processed, they’ll be available for research purposes.” Some of the titles in the new collection include: • Official Records of the Union and Confederate Armies • Official Records of the Union and Confederate Navies • Confederate Military History • North Carolina Troops • Confederate Veteran with complete index • The Union Army • Compendium of the War of the Rebellion (Dyer) • Battles and Leaders of the Civil War • Confederate Soldiers Roster • Southern History Society Papers • Conduct of the War Visit www.southernmuseum.org and click on “Archives” for more information about this collection.
significant historical value have been sorted and catalogued. Among the materials in this collection are a number of Civil War letters (both originals and copies) that have been transcribed in order to make them more accessible for researchers. Another area that has seen significant donations in the past are newspaper articles relative to the General. Due to the amount of acidity in old newspapers they cannot be stored. Articles which contain historical data are being copied for preservation in the files. A number of Museum photographs which have been donated over the years are currently being sorted and catalogued. The staff has completed work on its second book The Southern Railway: Further Recollections which will be available for purchase later in the year. As part of the chapter on the Southern’s Steam Excursion Program the authors interviewed two important persons who were associated with this program. Jim Bistline, retired manager of the Southern Steam Excursion Program was interviewed in his home in Alexandria, Virginia and gave an exciting history of the excursion program and recounted many incidences from this historic era which gave pleasure to thousands of riders during the years that it operated. The authors also interviewed William J. Purdie, retired master mechanic, steam. Without Mr. Purdie, the excursion program would not have become a reality. Spending hundreds of hours and often working around the clock, Purdie and his crew kept the steam locomotives running. Both Mr. Bistline and Mr. Purdie have recently turned 90 years old, but they are young-at-heart when it comes to talking about the Southern Railway. The Archives Department has been busy responding to a number of requests for materials from prospective authors and researchers. It stands ready to assist those in The Southern Railway “Crescent” at Toccoa, GA (from “Further Recollections”). need of research materials.
