Blind Willie Vinyls
These limited-edition clear blue vinyl records of Blind Willie McTell's music and musings are available at the McDuffie Museum for $29 (tax included!) with 100% of the proceeds going to museum operations.
Don't have a record player? These make a great gift. Alternatively, you can consider it a beautiful $29 donation to a small-town museum!
Youth Leadership McDuffie
We are so proud to have hosted Youth Leadership McDuffieans part of their History Day! We loved having them here and answering their questions. Thank you to Executive Director Riley Merritt for leading these students on their tour of the museum. We were also delighted to film a TikTok with these bright students for the museum's account!
