Railroad Memorabilia, Old Photographs, Handmade Lace and Linens, Depression Glass, Hand woven baskets, Farm Implements, Memorabilia of life in
rural South Alabama, Items depicting the histories of local businesses, and Political Memorabilia.
 The name Three Notch Museum was selected because "Three Notch" is synonymous with the Andalusia area's journey throughout history. The
Three Notch Trail was first an Indian pathway through the forest following the high ridge. Later it was a trading route for the Spanish making
their way into Indian territory from Pensacola, Fl. The trail, cut and established as a roadway by the U. S. Army to support its garrison of
troops stationed at Fort Mitchell in the Creek Nation, is today represented by two of the main streets of Andalusia -- East Three Notch and
South Three Notch.
