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.
