Visit the Ruth Drake Museum, the SC Tennis Hall of Fame, the North End Gallery, and Whistle Stop Gifts, all housed in our most important artifact, the Historic Belton Train Depot.

The Belton Area Museum Association’s purpose is to collect, exhibit, preserve, and interpret the artifacts, sites, antiquities, and genealogical, archival, cultural, and natural history of Belton, SC, Anderson, SC, and the State of South Carolina. BAMA also provides cultural enrichment, intellectual stimulation, learning opportunities, and activities to increase the appreciation of the traditional, visual, and performing arts.

Founded in 1975, the Belton Area Museum Association oversees the Ruth Drake Museum of Local History, the SC Tennis Hall of Fame, the North End Gallery, and the Center Section Event Venue. In 2025, the museum celebrates its 50th anniversary!
