Buford Pusser Museum to remain open in Adamsville
ADAMSVILLE, Tenn. — Following new evidence released by the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation last week on the 1967 murder of Pauline Pusser, one local attraction has a message for the community.
The Buford Pusser Museum in Adamsville announces that it will not be closing.
In a Facebook post made Tuesday morning, museum staff clarifies that the museum was closed last weekend due to a family medical issue.
According to its Facebook page, the regular hours at the museum are 11 a.m. – 4 p.m. Thursday through Saturday.
The clarification comes after speculation about the future of the museum, after authorities say evidence suggests the former McNairy County Sheriff, who’s story has been the subject of several films, was responsible in the death of his wife.
In addition to the museum, there is also an annual festival in Adamsville, along with several highway markers and monuments in the region, honoring the late sheriff.
The Buford Pusser Museum is located at 342 Pusser Street in Adamsville.
