The new museum will promote, present and preserve the history of Upcountry South
Carolina through education, research and service. Through permanent exhibits,
collaborative outreach, oral history presentations and student enrichment programs,
the Museum will invite visitors not only to discover the rich texture of the Upcountry's
past and present, but also to participate in telling its story.
The exhibits are designed by the renowned Christopher Chadbourne and Associates
and will provide a powerful experience, using technology to convey events and
ideas from the past. The region's cultural, social and economic stories will be
conveyed by combining manual and touch-screen computer interactives, oral histories,
motion-activated exhibition elements and artifacts. Exhibits utilize sound, lights,
photographs, videos and objects to engage the senses, ignite the imagination and
transport visitors back in time.
