About Us

Badin Historic Museum’s collections are exhibited in 3 buildings. The first building, acquired in 1999, served the town as a rent office, kindergarten, and home extension location before becoming home to the Hardaway Site exhibit. It also showcases a pictorial history of early town life.

The second building, the Firehouse Museum, houses early fire fighting equipment, an extensive photo-history of the Narrows Dam and work at Alcoa.

The third building is a 1915 French Apartment built for company workers. It was brought to life in 2005 to reflect the family life of Badin’s working men and women.
