Engaging. Dynamic. Inspiring.

The Seneca City Museums, in the City of Seneca’s Department of Arts, History, and Culture, is comprised of a number of historic sites that include: Lunney Museum, Bertha Lee Strickland Cultural Museum, Oberlin Faith Cabin Library, and the Bell Gallery. Sharing a property, the two museums host joint events, provide a unique tour that spans both sites, and share a story that bridges two women's lives into one narrative. Bertha Lee Strickland Cultural Museum is the only exhibit museum in Upstate South Carolina whose focus is local African American history. The Lunney Museum, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, is the only historic house museum in Oconee County. The Oberlin Faith Cabin Library is one of only two remaining free-standing faith cabin libraries in South Carolina and is currently being restored by the City of Seneca.

Funding for the Seneca City Museums is provided through the City of Seneca Hospitality Accommodations Tax, South Carolina State Accommodations Tax, South Carolina Humanities Grants, National Endowment for the Humanities., and Oconee County Accommodations Tax.
