Isaac C. Thomas Historical Museum
“Telling Ridgeway’s Story of Community, Commerce and Culture”
Step into Ridgeway’s past by visiting the Isaac C. Thomas Historical Museum.
The museum, located directly behind Laura’s Tea Room, houses a collection of artifacts on loan or donated to the museum by community members who are delighted to share their love of their hometown and its history.
In the museum, you will see quilts made by women of the community depicting various buildings and events. Check out the old Ridgeway Postmaster’s Desk as well as china from the Coleman home, the key to the Ridgeway jail, advertising signs and artifacts from the Thomas Company Store and The Ridgeway School. Don’t miss photographs of our hometown celebrities such as a former female baseball player, Mother of the Year for SC, an astronaut, a fashion designer, authors, former council members and pictures showing Ridgeway’s history.
