Historic Effingham Museum
Formerly the “old jail” and Sheriff’s living quarters
Located across the street from the Old Effingham County Courthouse, is the Effingham Museum opened in 1994. The gracious staff gave me a tour this week as busy as they were preparing for the Olde Effingham Festival this Saturday, April 13th from 9am-5Pm.
Amazed at the collection of artifacts and the work that is being done to preserve the history of a community, two thoughts came to mind.
First, how have they been able to put so much good stuff in this modest two-story building?
My second thought was, “where did the Sheriff find room to fit the weekend crowd”?
The museum is open Monday-Friday from 9am-1pm
