Brady C. Jefcoat Museum — Attraction in Murfreesboro

The Brady C Jefcoat Museum is located in Murfreesboro, NC. There is parking for the museum on the street. The museum is open on Saturdays and Sundays. Admission is currently $10.

It is an old school building and the artifacts are all old. It would take days to look at it all in detail. We went through fairly quickly but did not linger anywhere too long. I would possibly stop by again if I was...

Visited the Museum late June 2018. Their display are excellent - showcasing the stuffs back in time cannot believe the innovations through the years. Some of the display are welcome to be touched (which gives our tour in this museum such a unique experience). The building was an old school which was empty for a long while. My husband was a graduate here, visiting this was fun and...
