Unless you're a huge fan this is about a 20 minute visit. And I was very aware way before I arrived that plant tours are currently closed. They say so on their website. And I heard many people discussing this. Definitely worth the visit when you're in the area.

Our guide was super knowledgeable and made the whole process easy to follow, even for someone who isn't a car expert. I loved that we also got to explore the museum before and after, which had so many cool displays and classic BMW models. If you're ever in the Greenville area, this is such a fun and eye-opening thing to do. Totally worth it!

We were greeted at the entrance and they explained about standing 3 feet back from the art on the wall. I was given a sheet of paper explaining what exhibits were on each level. The works of art were displayed nicely with cards listening Artist, title and mediums used. Also on the walls were interesting facts about the featured artist and their works. The Andrew Wyeth pictures were a beautiful representation of his work spanning several decades of his life. There was also a wonderful exhibit of American artist Bob Ray's work. I was not familiar with his work but it was lovely and intriguing. There are elevators and stairs and ramps making transitions to each floor very easy for all. We went to the top floor and a wonderful gentleman who works there, John , told us quite a bit about the mixed media bird sculptures that were made by Grainger McKoy and and featured at the museum. Gravity defying and extremely detailed we were in awe. John was enthusiastic and knowledgeable and we had a wonderful time. There was a delightful group of young children on a school trip, that were at the museum and were incredibly well behaved. They were listening to their guide and I was smiling as they were told to discuss with their partners different aspects of the works..... their sweet voices sounded like music as I was behind a wall. The gift shop was small but lovely and I bought some cards and beautiful paper masks. There is no admission fee, so we took an envelope to send in well deserved donation.

Interesting museum including exhibits on Greenwood history and other collections…read more Admission is free and the museum is kid friendly as well. The ground level features panels about Greenwood and South Carolina history, including local Native American history, early settlers, and history up until the early twentieth century. There's also a theatre, a dry goods store, and a hat shop, all which were neat to walk into and look around. There was also space up front that was empty at the time. Downstairs there is some more local and non-local history exhibits. Upstairs there was a display about Self Regional which had a variety of interesting medical items. There was also a room about gems and minerals, a mine (which was very cool to walk through!) and an animal exhibit. There was also an art exhibit featuring artwork from local elementary school students. I really enjoyed the exhibits specific to Greenwood history, but also felt like there was quite a bit of empty space. The museum has an elevator to access all three floors. Because we came in March, the railroad center wasn't open, but we hope to see that the next time we're in town.

The Musuem features permanent collections and exhibits relevant to the area and the people from the late 1800s and early 1900s. The permanent exhibits include replicas of stores in downtown Greenwood circa 1910, and are interactive as well as educational; kids especially like the train station and the Millinery shop! We also have seasonal exhibits highlighting local people and institutions of historical significance, and a summer exhibit that is aimed at being fun, educational, and with relevancy beyond our local area (Dinosaur Discovery last year, and Sonic Sensations this coming summer). Join us Sseptember 22 for our annual Dinner on the Diner! Dinner, an original play featuring a train heist, The Railroad Historical Center showcases a historic 1906 Baldwin steam Engine, and 6 cars. All but one are totally restored to their period of use, and the final car's restoration is in the works. In fact, our collection of historic cars is the largest, and most accurately restored static display in upstate S.C.!

It's only open one day a week because it's run by volunteers.

The children were allowed to play for about thirty minutes before the birthday party started! I think the adults we're hoping the kids would burn off some energy and become a little bit calm and docile! That's not going to happen! Children have boundless energy and even if they get tired; they recover quickly! I posted a list of the educational play areas offered here. We had a good sized private room for the festivities! After the party the kids ran from play center to play center for about another hour and a half! New Years hats, face mask, top hats and much more were provided for every child and adult in the building! I even grabbed a hat for myself! This is a fantastic place for kids to have their birthday parties and I highly recommend them!
