Reviews
"Loved photographing a wedding at this museum recently! It's full of history, personality, and was the perfect venue for this nontraditional and intimate wedding. Everyone there was so kind and helpful, I can't wait to return."
"First time at the Museum and we had a great time."
"Halloween cemetery walk was great! The museum was so festive. Cannot wait until next year"
"This was a beautiful tour of the McRitchie-Hollis Home. We had a tour guide who was fantastic. She filled us in on all the historic importance of this home. If you have a chance, I highly recommend going to see it. Donations are welcome."
"Occupying another fine red-brick Greek Revival style building, today’s McRitchie-Hollis Museum was built in 1937. Now fully renovated to its former glory, it acts as an introduction to what life was like in the American south during the Great Depression of the 1920s and 1930s, and the Second World War which followed. Its exhibition spaces contain original furniture from the Hollis family who had previously called the building home. Visitors are also able to see how simple kitchen and bathroom facilities were roughly one hundred years ago. A beautiful curving staircase leads upstairs, from where visitors are able to take in the lawns and mature planting outside."
