The Spartansburg County Historical Association seeks to preserve and share the history of Spartansburg County, South Carolina. To this end, the society operates three historical sites and a regional museum. The Seay House began as a Scots-Irish one-story log home, built before 1850. This residence is most like the dwelling of an average early inhabitant of the Spartansburg area. Interpretation focuses on late 19th- and early 20th-century women's lives. The circa 1795 Price House grounds also include a kitchen building and double-pen slave cabin. The home served as a residence and bed and breakfast. Interpretation focuses on the original owners, Thomas and Anne Price. The circa 1765 Walnut Grove Plantation includes a plantation home, Rocky Spring Academy, a forge, a meat house, a kitchen building, a well house, a barn, and the reconstructed office of the region's earliest physician to have received collegiate training. The site depicts area life prior to 1805. The Regional History Museum's permanent exhibits address an chronological overview of Spartansburg area developments, textiles, military history, and locally made furniture.

Governor Dodge wrote, “I do...order & direct that the Members elected from the several counties for Representatives & Council shall convene at Belmont, in the County of Iowa on the 25th day of October next ensuing, for the purpose of organizing the first Session of the Legislative Assembly of said Territory [of Wisconsin].”

With these words, Governor Dodge initiated a flurry of activity in the fledgling town of Belmont, Wisconsin. From October 25 to December 9, 1836 thirty-nine legislators convened in Belmont, passing forty-two acts dealing with such things as the organization of Territorial government, the operation of the judicial branch, internal improvements, incorporation of businesses, and division of counties.

After the session, the legislators left, many businesses closed, and buildings were sold to private citizens. Two of these buildings have survived the ravages of time - and of use as livestock barns - to the present day. Today, you can see the buildings, along with exhibits telling the dramatic story of Wisconsin’s beginnings, at First Capitol Historic Site.
