Tison Tool Museum




Detail from front of Tool Museum building



The Tison Tool Museum houses the unique tool collection of Gainesville native John Mason Tison, Jr. Built by Tison in 1993 and reconstructed on the Matheson site in 1998, the structure—and the tools it preserves—honor the skill and artistry that created Alachua County’s built environment.

The Tison Tool Museum is open by appointment only. Please phone (352) 378-2280 or e-mail specialtours@mathesonmuseum.org to schedule a tour.
