The Fayetteville - Lincoln County Museum; Plus Some Miscellaneous Americana

Fayetteville - Lincoln County Museum

The small city of Fayetteville, Tennessee is the home of the Fayetteville - Lincoln County Museum.

A Very Old Wheelbarrow

The museum is surprisingly large and has lots of interesting things on display, like this old wheelbarrow.

Note the square axel and wooden wheel on this wheelbarrow. I suspect it was made for hauling grain or hay, and not real heavy material; but that is just a guess. What do you think? You can leave comments at the bottom of this page.

A large and old Holy Bible

Also in the museum, one can find this is a very old Holy Bible. Note the metal clasps.

The National Society Daughters of the American Revolution was founded in 1890 to promote historic preservation, education, and patriotism in the United States. The Daughters of the Revolution recently presented a show/display about the Revolutionary War at the museum.

This lady was demonstrating how wool is spun into thread.

There was an excellent display of videos and information about the Revolutionary War. That program can also be seen online:

An Old Tire Swing

Back in my neighborhood in north Alabama there are lots of Americana items to be seen. This tire swing hangs in a neighbor's yard even though the kids are now adults.

Looks Like a Big Metal Rooster and His Smaller Friend

This metal rooster is in another neighbor's yard just down the road. And it is not hard to find an old barn, old church, or old tractor nearby.
