sympathetic threads, our actions run as causes, and they come back to us as
effects.

make a fiddle and cane a chair,
sit in a Model “T” produce
truck and World War II Jeep,
observe depictions of local
historical events throughout the museum,
have a picture taken in a
cut-out of Scarlett’s “picnic” dress
“Antiques Alley” returns this year featuring furniture,
jewelry, household items and other treasures from several vendors. The
“Antiques Alley” will spill over from the Museum to the Regions Bank lawn.

and a vendor will be selling handmade swings. To tour the inside of the
Museum, admission is $5 for adults and $3 for children 12 and under.
