 Carolina Military Museum\n\nFirst established in Sumter County as the 
 National Guard Museum and State Weapons Collection\, the South Carolina 
 Military Museum relocated to the capital city of Columbia to better serve 
 its mission of preserving the Palmetto State’s military history.\n\nThis 
 new location offered strong partnerships with the South Carolina Military 
 Department and the opportunity to expand the collection. Through the 
 efforts of staff and volunteers\, the former National Guard motor pool was 
 transformed into an inviting space for the community to learn their rich 
 military heritage.\n\nOfficially recognized by the U.S. Army’s Center for 
 Military History and the National Guard Bureau\, the museum highlights 
 South Carolina military history in three galleries. Staff members are 
 available to assist with research inquiries\, and the Hugh McLaurin Library 
 and Archive is open by appointment. The museum also hosts community events 
 and offers various STEM-related education programs.\n\n \n\n \n\nFor more 
 information\, please get in touch with McCabe Rentz\, SC Center for the 
 Book Coordinator\, at 803-734-4816 or mrentz@statelibrary.sc.gov

 Library\, 1500 Senate Street\, Columbia\, SC 29201. On-street metered
