Colleton County Museum — Attraction in Walterboro

Neat little place with historical artifacts and replicas. If you are looking to learn more about the local community and it's history, this is the place to go. The museum goes back as far as the first founding of the area. Plenty of Native American and African American heritage and suffrage. In addition, it does have a section regarding the Tuskegee Airmen, of which there is a larger museum dedicated to just them down the road. Wildlife info is also shown as well. Small gift shop with local products on sale as well. We have read of the farmers market, but we did not attend on a day that they had it open. They have a small café with cold and hot food options. It appeared as though they have a catering business as well that they can provide if you ask. Lots of pamphlets and information about local attractions, stores, and much more out and available as soon as you walk in.

I would recommend this to anyone living in the area, or if you are visiting the area and would like to learn more about this quiet area in the...

A visitor from Virginia commented, "This is a really well-done museum!" And it is. Exhibits were professionally done, covered a lot of local history, and answered questions we had brought with us from our visit to the Tuskegee memorial.

The staff gave directions, made recommendations of what else to do, and treated us royally. Check it out! ...

The museum is a good place to pick up historical books, Low Country cookbooks and a variety of jams, rice, artwork - perfect for souvenirs of your Walterboro visit. My only suggestion is to enhance the signage for your hot food service. It was difficult to figure out what was being served and the prices.

A nice touch is the seasonal farmers market with locally grown vegetables, crafts, tasty dessert items and...
