Preserving PPP: Part Two

Dale Barnett, People Preserving Peteetneet (PPP) President, is pictured on the Peteetneet grounds in February 2017.  He and his wife, the late Gloria Barnett, traveled the world and brought home with them ideas to implement in the Payson museum's design.

The Peteetneet Museum & Cultural Arts Center brings to mind memories of schooldays for many Paysonites.  The historic building functioned as the Peteetneet School from 1901 until it was shuttered by Nebo School District in the late 1980s, then revitalized as an academy of art and culture by the People Preserving Peteetneet (PPP).  While thoughts of the Peteetneet as a schoolhouse loom large, what some may not realize is that style elements borrowed from galleries worldwide are tucked into the museum’s design.
