Quotes from visitors |
- On seeing the
museum one noted historian wrote - "A peoples history molds a peoples national
character, which reasserts itself during times of change and conflict... thank you for
Suttons Corner, it gives me confidence for our nations future... "
- ...travelogue of yesterday - a memoir of distant times that I could touch and
feel. (from a writer in New England)
- I only wish every American
would have the opportunity to see this moment of our nations history. It leaves you with
a feeling of immense pride. (Historian from Tennessee)
- One of my
most cherished moments in time was the three hours I spent with David in the museum. I
will always treasure it... (LTC USA (Ret.), Washington, DC)
- "Eloquent, It's spirit humbling, its stories unforgettable. I closed
the door of Suttons Corner Museum with a sigh for that 'America of Yesterday,' that
slower world, for suddenly it feels like everything is poised for change - and the world
we grew up with dwindles in the rearview mirror."
- ...there is
nothing left in memories' pantry - thank you for Suttons Corner. (American History
Buff from England)
- ...as you are well aware, the museum has a
tremendous one-of-a-kind collection of artifacts. The significance of the collection (in
particular, the rarity and value of the artifacts) has caught the attention of museum
specialists from numerous universities and the Smithsonian Museum. To those I add my own
voice as a former Museum Curator and current director of the Georgia Folklife Project.
(Dr. Laurie Sommers, Valdosta State University)
- The museum can
be studied not only for its cargo of imperishable truths, but as a true expression of
frontier society. In comparing the three generations of Suttons Corner with
todays...society may think it lives in a superior culture, but in reality it is after
all, chiefly bogus. (from a writer of historical novels in Virginia)
- 'Our history has been wallpapered over,' Suttons Corner peels it
off...It's stories pierce the heart and lingers in the mind.
