Historical Museum showcases musical icons from Aiken County.
The Aiken County Historical Museum has debuted a new exhibit celebrating those who have made beautiful music in Aiken County throughout the years.
“The Musicians of Aiken County” will be on display in the ballroom throughout the month of October. A reception will be held from 3 to 5 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 11. The exhibit features memorabilia from such luminaries as Flo Carter, Peggy Lee and James Brown, and contains both items from the museum’s permanent collection and on loan from musicians and fans in the Aiken area.
“We’re going to be the permanent repository for Niles Borop’s awards and memorabilia. The Gospel Hall of Fame asked him for some things, but he didn’t want to break up his collection, so we’ve got them now,” said Mary White, the director of education at the Aiken County Historical Museum. Borop, an Aiken native, is a celebrated gospel musician and songwriter.
