Sumter Today: The Sumter County Museum celebrates Christmas Backcountry style

Posted

The Sumter County Museum holds its annual Christmas celebration in a different fashion than others.

Their Carolina Backcountry Christmas shows attendees what it was like living in the area during the early 1800s.

From watching blacksmiths and other tradespeople to roasting chestnuts over an actual open fire, we spent some time at the museum over the weekend to learn more.
