F KThis is a small museum located in an old train depot dedicated to the history of tobacco in this town and South Carolina in general. We took our 6 year old grandson and he loved stepping back in the past. Many questions about the hundreds of antique items on display. The young lady that gave us a tour was very sweet and informative. Admission is free, there's a small gift shop and a donation box if you are so inclined.

Joe SherrillSaw a reference to this little treasure on YouTube channel, Baby Bronco & Big Trike. It was a great ride. The depot museum downtown with secure parking. The docent was knowledgeable and filled with Southern charm. There was too much well presented Americana to take in with one visit. It's more than tobacco and trains. No admission, but donations are appreciated.

Shalonda Curtis-HackettTook my family to my grandfather's hometown. There is a rich history of tobacco farming. Enjoyed the stages of growing tobacco the barn relics and staff knowledge. They were excited to share, engaging and walked us through the museum. I liked how interactive it was. I would love to see more images and historical references of the Black residents who reside in Mullins, their culture, experience and voice also be prominent in this museum. Black residents make up 75% of the Mullins population but their image, voice and experience in the tobacco museum is no where to be found. I think it does a huge disservice to the history and culture of Mullins to not be intentional about making sure the fabric of the town is included. It is not as inclusive as I thought it would be given the population make up. My family is still there as well as others who are descendent of tobacco farming, who are stewards of the land and are still alive to tell their own stories. If that was included that would be a 5+ for me. To know the history and not see it displayed is disappointing. I am hopeful that there will be more intention to include Black voices.

Joseph C KlostermanDocent very knowledgeable. Well worth a visit. Allow about an hour to have a docent tell the story of tobacco in the region and it's effect on the farming community of rural South Carolina.
