Housed in a 1903 jail and expanded in 2006 this museum houses artifacts representing the heritage of Pickens County, from prehistory to current events.  Three art galleries are changed every 8-10 weeks to feature the artwork of local artists. The landscape is native gardens. A museum shop offers regional artisans' work.
