We are incredibly honored to have been chosen as one of the recipients of the Inspire! Grants for Small Museums for 2026!
We extend a huge thanks to the Institute of Museum and Library Services for awarding us over $24,000 to improve management and access of our artifact collection. Over the next couple years, we will be working to inventory and catalog our collection and improve organization in order to best preserve the material culture of Oconee County for generations to come! 🌟🌟🌟
