County History Preservation
In 1939, a film
was made in Coleman, as a fund-raising
project for the Lions Club, with the result
being shown at the Dixie
Theater. This
film survives today and
has been made into a professional DVD for home
viewing. Each
scene has been marked and can be
accessed directly on the DVD, without going
through the whole movie.
Today, this movie is like a time
machine, as
it shows us a glimpse of the past. A
booklet of over 50 pages has been written by
local historians, Judia and Ralph
Terry, describing each scene with much
additional information. Although
many people have been identified,
many remain unidentified.
Some of the
scenes shown are: Commercial Avenue, Downtown
Coleman, Courthouse, City
Buildings, City Park, Kiwanis Club, Chamber of
Commerce, West Ward School,
Lions Club, Nehi Bottling Plant, Burton-Lingo
