Abstract:
How he fulfills the roles of preservationist and collector: amassing items such as 18th-century Kentucky longrifles, 19th-century salt-glaze pottery, furniture from the 18th century; amassing stories of the people who made these items. In the process, he saves the items and their history, almost palpable beneath their materials, not for just his own pleasure or fulfillment. The Museum of Early Southern Decorative Arts and individuals who share his twin passions may have such item available for generations to come.

Abstract:
Brady C. Jefcoat’s Museum of Americana has items representing American culture from the distant and more recent past. Opened in 1997, it contains the half of Jefcoat’s collection that was not auctioned off and is especially known for its 264 vintage record players and the country's largest collection of butter churns and irons. Despite the Smithsonian being receptive to his request to donate his immense collection, he chose Murfreesboro because the town was willing to display the entirety of his 13,000 treasures.
