Located across the street from the Old Effingham County Courthouse, is the Effingham Museum opened in 1994.  The gracious staff gave me a tour this week as busy as they were preparing for the Olde Effingham Festival this  Saturday, April 13th from 9am-5Pm.

Amazed at the collection of artifacts and the work that is being done to preserve the history of a community, two thoughts came to mind.

First, how have they been able to put so much good stuff in this modest two-story building?

#gallery-0-17 { margin: auto; } #gallery-0-17 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 50%; } #gallery-0-17 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #gallery-0-17 .gallery-caption { margin-left: 0; } /* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes/media.php */

My second thought was, “where did the Sheriff find room to fit the weekend crowd”?

#gallery-0-18 { margin: auto; } #gallery-0-18 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 50%; } #gallery-0-18 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #gallery-0-18 .gallery-caption { margin-left: 0; } /* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes/media.php */

The museum is open Monday-Friday from 9am-1pm
