Browntown Museum

Search Lake City South Carolina

The Brown family acquired its first land in the Browntown area about 1760, after having been in South Carolina for some time. The diligence of this family resulted in a very successful agrarian enterprise. So typical of Southern antebellum homes, the Brown-Burrows house, on whose site the museum is situated, is a small farmstead restored for your viewing pleasure. Also on the site are a smoke house, an outhouse, old-fashioned corn crib, a real cotton gin and a lot of other things sure to bring forth a ton of questions. The museum is located on South Carolina Highway 261, ten miles east of Lake City. The museum is open on the weekends and by appointment.
