Editor’s Note: This story originally published on Richland Source in 2015.
It started as a schoolhouse in 1850 for almost a half-century, and then spent another 60 years as a Grange hall.
In 1965 it became the Richland County Museum, and walking through the exhibits there is like a little time trip visiting all those many different eras of local history since the old schoolhouse was built.
The museum, at 51 West Church Street in Lexington, is open to the public May through October, Sunday afternoons from 1:30 to 4:30 p.m. except for holidays.
