Apr 10, 2022 · The Heritage Center of Cherokee County is one of the best local museums that we have toured. It was so informative and full of local exhibits. We particularly liked how they had different sections: people who have served in the Armed Forces, education, home, the local prison, the county market, etc. Betty Marcontell was a wonderful docent.
