Built c. 1790 as a lawyer's office at Granby on
the Congaree River, this building was rolled to
the new county seat called Lexington Courthouse
in 1820 and was used as a medical office for Dr.
Thomas Simmons (1794-1853). His widow,
Mary, kept the Post Office here, 1866-67, and
their daughter, Mrs. Mary S. Harth, 1868-1894,
during their tenures as Postmistresses for the town.
It was re-located to the Museum from the
Courthouse square in 1975.
