Welcome to the Home Page
of the Lexington County Museum

Welcome to the John Fox Farm in Lexington County South Carolina. This interactive site is full of historical content, primary sources, and learning activities we call “challenges.” This site addresses two historical themes: Southern Antebellum Farm Life, with emphasis on food traditions, and 2) Colonial Settlement in South Carolina's backcountry. Visit Teacher Resources to learn more about the site's Food for Thought and Settling the Backcountry WebQuests.
