Sumter Museum

Sumter Museum explores historical experiences through programs and exhibits that allow all of us to inform and shape our future. The museum includes the Williams Brice House (1916), the Heritage Education Center (2003), the Carolina Backcountry Homestead, and the Temple Sinai Jewish History Center (2018). With our many locations we are turning into a campus of museum facilities . We strive to rotate exhibits frequently, both creating in-house exhibits directly related to Sumter County history as well as hosting renowned traveling exhibits to offer our residents unique opportunities. We also present a variety of programming from free living history days in our Backcountry with costumed interpreters to book signings with New York Times Bestselling authors. We work to provide exhibits and programming to reach all ages. We are working towards expanding even more over the next few years.
