The Brady C. Jefcoat Museum of Americana is located in Murfreesboro. Jefcoat, now 96, has collected over 13,000 items which are housed in a former three-story school building. The items include an 1890 music box, pencil sharpeners, a courtship couch used on the set of Gone With the Wind, shaving mugs, and butter churns from the 1910s. When he was looking for a repository the Smithsonian made an offer, but he selected the Murfreesboro Historical Association because they agreed to display the whole collection.
