Sumter County Museum
The Sumter County Museum is represented by structures dating from an 1812 one-room cabin to the new Heritage Education Center. Relocated from the Pinewood area, the Weeks Cabin was lived in for more than 150 years by several families, including slaves, freedmen, and tenant farmers. Other structures include exhibits on farming life, the railroads, and transportation. The turn-of-the-century barn holds a carriage and a classic surrey, complete with fringe on top. A pole barn contains an array of farm equipment used when mules were the primary mode of power in the South.
