One exhibit within the museum highlights a local connection to the Civil War. In response to Governor Joseph Brown's request, blacksmith Edwin Williams set to work on Sautee Creek manufacturing pikes, a stop-gap weapon consisting of a long wooden staff with a bayonet attached. Stored in warehouses in Augusta and Charleston, many were sent home by Federal occupiers as unique souvenirs. Joe Brown pikes are prized exhibits in Georgia's Confederate museums.
The Association has established Sautee Nacoochee as an official Historic District and one of "The 100 Best Small Arts Towns in America."
