The Colleton Museum accepts donations of artifacts relevant to the history of Colleton County. Currently this includes a small collection of prehistoric fossils and Native American artifacts,artifcts from an early colonial settlement, artifacts relating to the Civil War and World Wars I & II, 19th & 20th century clothing, tools and household artifacts.

The Colleton Museum has a small research collection primarily for staff use. We are more than willing to assist in outside research requests as our time and resources allow.

Guided Tours of the museum are offered if staff is available. Our education programs consist of outreach programs to area public, private and home schools and are mainly oriented towards environmental education. We offer the ACE Basin Traveling Trunk, the Wonderful Wetlands Traveling Trunk, as well as up to 15 environmental education kits, videos, books and other resources FREE to area educators. Educators may also participate in our Teacher's Envirnmental Network which lets them explore local science resoureces through lectures and field trips. Contact the Education Director at 843-5493265 for more details. Special Educational Tours available on demand for school groups.
