Herschede Grandfather Clock
Immediately inside the front doors of the Hartsville Museum stands a beautiful Herschede grandfather clock. A symbol of taste and refinement, the clock represents the unique combination of technical skill and traditional design. A priceless heirloom, it is so much more than a mere timepiece; it is a beloved companion that radiates warmth and charm.
Stained Glass Skylight
One of the distinguishing architectural characteristics is a skylight. Originally clear glass, each new panel is designed with objects that help tell the story of the history of Hartsville and the state. Gifts from Benefactors made the completion of all 12 panels possible in 2002.

Welcoming Visitors
The Museum enjoys hosting school groups. We have recently had visitors from Thornwell School for the Arts, Southside Early Childhood Center, and Lakeview Baptist Church Kindergarten. A group of children from the YMCA’s program often stops by during school holidays.
