Very nice lady who has worked hard to make town better. Learned some of history of place and hope to return. Little walking but worth it for what you see. Hope town grows.
Bartlett is fascinating because while it has earned it's reputation as a true ghost town, it also has a deep history. From being the first town in Texas with electricity to foiled bank robberies to tragedies and corruption, Bartlett's story is much more than what meets the eye. Learn about Bartlett's history as a movie set, walk through once gorgeous abandoned buildings, and hear the crazy stories of this forgotten town. It's unlike any tour you've been on before. By purchasing tickets for this tour, you agree to the terms and conditions.

It was worth the drive, beautiful scenery and it was great to see the rebirth starting on Main Street. We spent maybe 40 minutes driving and walking around really cool vibe.

What a fun evening to learn some local history and lore. We have lived in Bartlett for many years and learned so many things that we never knew about our little town. Thank you Jennifer Welch for a great time!!!
