Isabel Anderson Comer Museum and Arts Center

The museum was opened in 1982 and is named for its founder, Mrs. Isabel Anderson Comer, who conceived the idea in 1977.
After several years of meetings, planning, and negotiations, the museum opened its doors in 1982. Prior to becoming a museum, the building was a public library.

It was Mrs. Comer's inspiration and untiring efforts, along with help from many other Sylacaugans, that brought the metamorphosis from a library to a museum.

The mission of The Isabel Anderson Comer Museum and Arts Center is to promote the social, cultural, and historical arts in the community, to provide access to the arts and humanities by providing artistic expositions, displays, lectures, and cultural events through the involvement of civic, community, educational, and social organizations. These activities shall encourage preservation of artifacts important to the region, provide a forum for artistic expression in our service area and promote and provide educational experiences for schools, churches, clubs, and individuals.

Through invaluable community support and donations, the Isabel Anderson Comer Museum is able to display a wide collection of local history artifacts, photographs and memorabilia of the local area.
