The Madison-Morgan Cultural Center’s Museum collection is full of wonderful objects and artifacts historically significant to our region. During this time of physical distancing we have been inspired to share with you, over the next 10 months, a video series titled, "Museum Highlights”, featuring a historical object/s from our permanent collection each month. 

The sixth video in the Museum Highlights series provides a historical overview of the Cotton Engine or Gin, invented by young Eli Whitney in 1793. The 1875 Winship Cotton Gin can be seen at the Madison-Morgan Cultural Center.

Please enjoy this month’s Museum Highlights!
