The Bart and Cherry Starr Museum has opened at the Rawhide Youth Services campus in Wisconsin.
. “This is what they consider their life legacy, the work they started and were involved in until both of their deaths, and their family is still engaged in today. They were such incredible forces in our communities that people will drive a lot of miles to come here.”before entering the NFL as the 200th pick of the 1956 draft.
In 1965, Bart and Cherry Starr backed the vision of John and Jan Gillespie for the Rawhide program, giving it instant credibility in Wisconsin. But they did more than lend their names to the project -- Bart Starr raffled off the Corvette he had received as the Super Bowl II MVP to make the down payment on Rawhide’s campus.
The Corvette is one of the display items at the new museum, which also features Bart Starr’s Pro Football Hall of Fame jacket, his NFL and Super Bowl championship rings and more than 300 love letters written from Bart to Cherry. The Starrs met at Sidney Lanier High School in Montgomery and married in 1954 when Cherry Starr was attending Auburn and Bart Starr was attending Alabama.. “She was involved in this literally every week for the last three years. She was involved in every picture that is shown, every video interview, every display.”
The museum is open from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Central on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays and from 5 to 8 p.m. every third Friday from June through September during Rawhide’s fish-fry events.If you purchase a product or register for an account through a link on our site, we may receive compensation.
