The Berkeley County Museum and Heritage Center opened in 1992 in a building designed to resemble Colonial-period Lowcountry architecture, including flooring from a 150-year-old Darlington railroad depot. Its exhibits and artifacts present stories from the region's 12,000 years of human occupancy, from the earliest American Indians to the modern era. Among them are exhibits on the Revolutionary War, including a silk brocaded vest thought to have belonged to General Francis Marion, "The Swamp Fox." "Pushing Back the Darkness" covers the creation of Lake Marion and Lake Moultrie and the area's electrification in the 1930s. Another exhibit features Tony Lund of Cross, a local NASCAR driver who won the 1963 Daytona 500. Also on the site is the Whitesville schoolhouse, believed to have been built between 1880 and 1900 and probably one of the first in the area, then moved from Gilliard Road about seven miles away to its current location in 2005.
