The Sumter County Museum promotes the history of Old Sumter District through educational programs, community involvement, and the preservation, interpretation, and exhibition of artifacts.
The Sumter County Museum preserves and interprets the history of Old Sumter District, present day Sumter, Lee, and Clarendon Counties. The museum uses living history, period rooms, and temporary exhibits to share stories about the Sumter area. It includes the Williams-Brice House (1916), the Heritage Education Center, and the Carolina Backcountry Homestead. We also provide rental space for weddings, parties, and other events.
