FEATURED
exhibit

Made In Madison County

For over 100 years Madison County was an industrial center which produced a wide variety of items that sold across the country.  General Motors automotive parts, Sellers kitchen cabinets, Aladdin lamps, Wright “brilliant” cut glass, Red Gold canned tomatoes (still in business), and L & M musical instrument straps (still in business) are just some of the products spotlighted in this 2,000 square foot state-of-the-art open display area.
