Our current building was donated to us by John Witherspoon in 2011. He donated this 1800s Rococo Revival bedroom suite along with other documents and artifacts. He traces his history back to revolutionary war heroes in Laurens County, South Carolina. The museum at the time was on 205 Laurens Street, but the bedroom suite would not fit, so his solution was to provide the building at 116 S. Public Square, now known as the Witherspoon Building. This bedroom suite has played an important part in the history of the museum.
