Project 2. Bradley House Museum

 

​The Bradley House Museum includes the Bradley House, the Chaney Log Cabin, a smokehouse, and our research room.

 

The recently acquired Reed Henderson wagon is now located under a newly constructed shed near the Chaney Log Cabin. 

​

The Arkansas quilt block has been placed on the front of the Bradley House, and on the front of the Chaney Cabin, we have placed the Bear Paw quilt block. These are now part of the Arkansas Quilt Trail

​

An herb garden has been created by the Jasper Master Gardeners in the back yard. A variety of native herbs have been placed inside it.

​

Both sides of the Chaney Log Cabin have recently been opened for viewing. The half that will house barn/blacksmith implements is in the process of being furnished.
