The Garst Museum has a new sign. The original sign was beginning to deteriorate, with some of the wood starting to rot and the wording on the sign fading. Thanks to the Coppock-Hole Trust, the museum was able to refurbish the sign completely.
The Coppock-Hole Trust has long been a friend to the museum, and their support has enabled the museum to continue to grow and become a steadfast landmark in the community.
The new sign, which stands at the corner of 205 N. Broadway and Wilson Drive, is much more vibrant and features a couple of the exhibits that can be found inside the museum, such as The National Annie Oakley Center and Crossroads of Destiny.
The National Annie Oakley Center continues growing with new artifacts that will soon be added to the permanent exhibit. Crossroads of Destiny tells the story of how Greenville came to be and established its place in history with the signing of the Treaty of Greene Ville.
