Welcome to the Hampton County Historical Society
and the
Hampton County Museum @ The Old Jail!
The Hampton County Historical Society takes great pleasure in enriching the lives of our residents and visitors through interpreting and promoting the rich history of the many communities within Hampton County, South Carolina. We collect and preserve artifacts, materials and family histories for the benefit of residents and visitors through the Society-sponsored museum located at the Historic Old Jail. The Society also develops and presents public educational programs and events that highlight and explore our culture and heritage, and the Society encourages historic preservation by supporting the placement of historical markers at sites of significant interest throughout the communities of Hampton County.
