SUMMARY:Crestview History Day and Bush House Centennial Celebration
LOCATION:Crestview History Museum, 198 S Wilson St, Crestview, FL 32536
DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:Crestview is officially 110 years old this year. But unofficially, Crest Vi
 ew Depot, as it was originally known, was already in full swing as early as
  the 1880s. To celebrate our city’s rich and sometimes colorful history, th
 e Crestview Historic Preservation Board and the Crestview History Museum in
  the Bush House will host Crestview History Day on Saturday, June 13. At th
 e same time, the museum will observe the Bush House’s centennial. <br /><br
  />The family of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad’s then-track supervi
 sor, Lorenza Bush, moved into the dignified American Craftsman-style house 
 the railroad built for them sometime in the spring of 1926. It’s now the Hi
 story Museum's home, which will house several interesting and enlightening 
 displays and activities during History Day, including rare photographs from
  our past — some never seen before — and displays about our community’s bla
 ck heritage from the Carver-Hill Museum.<br /><br />Older residents may rem
 ember the “Hasty Train” that chugged around downtown Crestview during festi
 vals. The small scale, rideable train was crafted by Charlie Hasty who used
  to run the Sinclair gas station on U.S. Highway 90 West. The train is one 
 of the history museum’s prized artifacts and will be on display during Hist
 ory Day. Unfortunately, it isn’t operational yet, but HPD volunteers are in
  the process of refurbishing it. Because the board does not yet have room t
 o display the train, History Day will be a rare opportunity to see a belove
 d artifact from Crestview’s past.<br /><br />For those who want to delve de
 eper into Crestview’s moniker Hub City, local historian Bert Moore will off
 er “a practical and academic approach to the Hub City story,” as he put it.
  He will offer his presentation at 1 p.m. during History Day. His credentia
 ls are impeccable, being a lifelong Crestview resident, son of historian Ji
 m Moore and having observed his hometown through many lenses. “I have walke
 d all through town,” he said. “I took a bus through town, I took the train 
 through Crestview, and I even drove a tractor up Main Street towing a homec
 oming float.”<br /><br />Crestview History Day will include complimentary r
 efreshments, and since it’s also the Bush House centennial, there will be b
 irthday cake for the historic home’s 100th birthday. For book lovers, the F
 riends of the Crestview Library will hold a book sale on the front porch.<b
