The museum exhibits two pieces of furniture that offer a glimpse into the daily life of people in the past. The first is a gin table used by Frank Massony, a cotton buyer and gin owner, in the mid-19th century. During that time, cotton was transported from the field to the gin by trailers, and the roads leading to the gins would be covered in cotton during good years. The person in the gin office used the gin table to tag the trailers of cotton brought in by the farmers. They would stand or sit on a stool and watch the campers as they moved beneath a suction chute that lifted the cotton from the trailer and channelled it into the gin.

The second piece of furniture is an examination table used in Dr McVea's office in the New Reymond Building on Third Street in Baton Rouge. This unique piece of medical furniture can be used as an exam table and opened for female examination. The table provides insight into past medical practices, showing how doctors conducted tests and how medical equipment has evolved.
