This memorial plaque is now in the museum. It is great to see that the the Freeborn County Historical Society Museum has done so well in creating an Eddie Cochran exhibit. I cannot recommend this enough to all you Eddie Cochran fans out there ...

In the museum you will find some show-cases full of memorabilia. In this picture you can see a very young Eddie in between two of his friends ...

 This is a picture of Eddie's 3rd grade class at Ramsey School. The picture was taken in 1947. Can you spot little Eddie?

More memorabilia - some precious vinyl (an Ekko 78 rpm with the Cochran Brothers on it) ...

Another showcase with one of Eddie's shirts ...

Ofcourse I had to take this close-up photo of Eddie's shirt ..

This showcase has to be my favourite. It contains the clothes Eddie wore in England on the New Musical Express Poll Winners Concert - including the famous leather trousers ...

There are some golden records on display - this one is for 'Sittin' In The Balcony' ...

Golden record for the album 'Singin' For My Baby' ...

The Eddie Cochran Room

These printings on the wall are all from Albert Lea's artist Eloise Adams who creates an Eddie Cochran print every year for the Eddie Cochran weekend. Eloise started this project in 1993 ...

The Eddie Cochran room ...

You can make yourself comfortable surrounded by records of Eddie ...

This collage is also made by Eloise Adams using one of Rockstar's EP's ...

This is Eloise's Eddie Cochran print for 2004. A must have for collectors ...
