The museum houses a number of antique items related to the people and history of the Gardendale area, a number of history and genealogy books, and quite a few surname files in folders. These are available for viewing Thursdays from 10-2pm, and Saturdays from 10-2pm. On 3rd Saturdays the museum opens after the program is finished at the Gardendale Public Library. It will open shortly after noon, and close at 2pm on 3rd Saturdays.
