Fantastic free museum! Three whole floors and a good handle on community history and well taken care of and displayed. Very friendly folks who work/volunteer there. It helps me understand the area better.

Great, small-town museum. Newberry is a quaint and friendly town, rich in history. The museum takes donations, but there is no admission fee or requests for donations. There is an upstairs section also. They do have a handicap entrance. There's plenty of free parking all over town.

This is one of, if not, the nicest small museum I have ever been to. Located in a gorgeous historic structure downtown, this is a magnificent museum in all regards.
