It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas at the museum....

Early County is basically a farming community. We have a lot of farms and a lot of farmers. Corn, soybean, peanuts, cotton, cattle, sheep, goats; you name it it is probably grown in Early county. One farmer of interest is Jill Wilson, a 4th generation farmer in Early county. Listen to her story and enjoy the video.

People in Early County just reach out to their friends to bring us interesting people and informaton. Cliff Starr has brought to us Bruce Land. Bruce lived in the wiregrass area for years before moving to Virginia. Bruce plays the banjo and plays it very well. Listen to his story and his banjo accomanied by our own Cliff Starr on the acoustic guitar.

Early County is full of musical talent, some play instruments which are a little obscure. Mary Holloway collects Zithers and specifically the Mountain Dulcimer. Listen to her story and the music she plays...
