[1] Brady C. Jefcoat spent 35 years collecting everyday objects, with phonographs being among his favorites.
As the story goes, the Smithsonian wanted to display the collection, however, Jefcoat decided to give the items to the Murfreesboro Historical Society.
Then there are the lovely small collections housed in the hallways, such as a shelf filled with decorative tape measures.
