About South Carolina Tobacco Museum

Housed in the historic train depot in downtown Mullins, this museum traces how the town grew around tobacco and the railroad starting in the 1890s. Exhibits include tobacco plant growth models, a blacksmith shop, a log tobacco barn with cured leaves, a farm kitchen with vintage tools, and a photo gallery on modern tobacco practices. A media room shows a short video of warehousemen and farmers describing the tobacco era.
