Jeffcoat Photography Studio Museum

Jeffcoat Photography Studio Museum Admission is Free The Jeffcoat Photography Studio Museum continues that tradition by preserving and storing those same negatives. In 1948 he came home.

The Jeffcoat family saved all the photo negatives in the hopes that families would come back and get copies of the family photos that were taken at the studio. We also offer copies of those negatives. The Jeffcoat Photography Studio Museum also houses an extensive collection of cameras and photo equipment. Stop by and visit us next time you are in Abilene Kansas. We are located at 321 North Broadw

We were honored when The Eisenhower Foundation asked to borrow Jeffcoat cameras for their Cold War display at this year's Legacy Gala. This is a very creative way to present these interesting cameras.

An article in the newspaper from Bill Jeffcoat (not verbatim): In days gone by there used to be a parade through downtown marching all the way to the cemetery. Later, years it stopped at 7th and Cedar and Doss Stewart got a mill truck to haul the band the rest of the way.
Matt Guilfoyle and Fred Rice would speak, followed by taps. The service has been going on since the Civil War. Most of the traditions are now gone except the Abilene band.
