Profile manager: Melinda Pitts [send private message]

Today Wanette has a population of about 350 people but in its heyday it had a large population in the early 1900’s consisted of railroad, banks, saloons, cotton gins, movie theaters and auto dealerships. Today it’s pretty much a ghost town.

The goal of this project is to document all businesses in Wanette Pottawatomie county oklahoma. Such as, banks, saloons, hotels, restaurants, movie theaters, cotton gins, blacksmiths, lumber yards, general stores, mercantile, groceries, hardware, etc.

Right now this project just has one member, me. I am MG Pitts.

Here are some of the tasks that I think need to be done. I'll be working on them, and could use your help.

• newspaper advertisement’s of older businesses
• any new information such as owner, proprietor, employees, address and location in town.
• photographs

Information to be documented would be newspaper articles, photographs, letters, book articles or verbal family story information.
