The Sports Room- the AMA Museum keeps a large exhibit on sports at the school. Football was king, followed by basketball and baseball. Over the years, the school hosted large boxing tournaments in the 1930s, fielded crack rifle teams and sponsored intense fencing and la crosse programs.

Maggie Belles Parlor- Maggie Belle Robinson Roller lived in the home that houses the museum most of her life. This room is dedicated to her and depicts the family's parlor in the late 1800s.
