Friends of the Museum


The Friends of the Sumter County Museum are an invaluable part of the Museum.

Their support provides funding for educational programming and new exhibits. It also allows the museum to continue to preserve the history of the Sumter area and to share that history with our community. Click here to learn more about our member benefits.

The Sumter County Museum is a private non-profit institution. While the county is most generous with assisting the museum with yearly funds, we raise the majority of our funding from the community. As you can see, the Friends of the Museum contribute a great deal to the museum!

The museum offers the following levels of support. All Friends will receive the Museum newsletter, special invitations to all exhibit openings and museum programs, and early bird sales for museum events. If you would like to join the Friends of the Museum as an individual, please click on the appropiate button. If you are interested in a corporate sponsorship, please contact the museum at 803-775-0908.
