About History Museum of Travelers Rest

The History Museum of Travelers Rest is one of two sites operated by the volunteer-led Travelers Rest Historical Society, which works to preserve the history of northern Greenville County. Visitors can see historical artifacts up close and learn about the town and its people. The museum occupies a building dating to about the 1920s that once served as a store on Main Street. The building was moved in 2010, and its exhibits focus on the area's past as a stopping point for travelers crossing between the mountains and the coast. Docent-led guided tours are offered at no charge.
