We had a great time at the Museum, We were met with a very information and well versed staff person, I believer her name was Teresa. The museum is small but packed with timelines, items from the sites and community history. Examples of radiation, fallout shelter and pictures. This is well worth the time and if you have ever been curious about the site, it answers questions. The museum has limited hours as it closed at 2pm on the day we visited so check the web site. Parking is easy and free on the street. We parked in from of the museum with no problem at all. The entrance is free but they have a donation box. Check it out.

The Aiken Thoroughbred Racing Hall of Fame and Museum celebrates the great tradition of racing and Aiken’s vital role in it. Forty Champion Thoroughbreds have trained at the famed Aiken Training Track. The Hall of Fame immortalizes each in the Iselin’s charming, old carriage house. The Hall of Fame features both flat racers and steeplechase horses, from 1942 through the present. Photos, trophies and other memorabilia highlight these outstanding horses.

This was an interesting visit to appreciate the history of horses in Aiken. The docent was friendly and provided historical information. They had displays about jockeys, horses and the history of horses in Aiken. Small but nicely arranged museum. The setting in Hopelands Gardens was also worth a stroll around.

While downtown, we always love stopping here and viewing the multiple pieces of art from a variety of artists, most of whom are local. While the displayed art doesn't fit with our SW decor we continue to look for whimsical pieces that we might "fit in."
