The Season of Thanksgiving
As we begin the season of Thanksgiving, please accept our heartfelt gratitude for your continued support of the Laurens County Museum. We are truly thankful for you!
Festival of Trees
Our first-ever Festival of Trees has been a tremendous success! We now have over 40 beautifully decorated trees representing local businesses, organizations, non-profits, schools, churches, historic eras, and creative families.
Admission is free, and visitors are invited to vote for their favorite tree.

The Revolutionary War in Laurens County
Exciting plans are underway for the opening of an impressive new Revolutionary War exhibit, launching next year as part of the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.
The story of the American Revolution in Laurens County is a powerful one—stay tuned for details about the exhibit’s grand opening on June 28, 2026.
End of Year Giving
This year, you can double your impact with your end-of-year donation.
Your generosity helps preserve the rich history and vibrant stories of our community while ensuring that museum admission remains free for all visitors. As a non-profit organization, we rely on your support to curate new exhibits, maintain archives, and bring history to life for generations to come.
Thanks to a generous donor, all gifts made between now and December 31 will be matched—up to $10,000. That means every dollar you give goes twice as far.
