Furniture for Sale
The museum has more furniture than it can accommodate and we are hoping you have a place for these pieces. Please see the pictures and descriptions below for additional information. Contact Matt at 325-6503 or mfigi48@tds.net with questions or to make arrangements.
This table is solidly made.. It is about 28 3/8" wide, 71 3/4" long, and 25 1/4" high. The top is covered with contact paper. It is rectangular, but the four corners are cut at an angle. It would be great for a craft table or in a workshop. We are asking $10.00 for this piece.
At the Museum

The Green County Historical Museum has all sorts of items pertaining to the Monroe area, like this piece of Hardtack.
The picture to the left is a piece of Hardtack (heavily salted hard biscuit) brought back to Monroe after the Civil War. It appears to have a list of the survivors of Company H, which was a company of soldiers raised from Green County. To check out additional photos of items on display at the museum, visit our photos page. |
