The Button King Museum


Location: 55 Joe Dority Rd. Bishopville, SC 29010

Star Rating: 4

You would never believe in the middle of nowhere lies a museum entirely devoted to buttons. Dalton Stevens, an older gentleman, has been collecting buttons for years. He designs cars, sinks, bathtubs, clothes, pianos, and more with buttons. He says a mix of insomnia, boredom, and creativity started his devotion to covering things with buttons. The museum is small but very impressive and perfect to visit when it's rainy or cold. If you're lucky Dalton Stevens will be there with his guitar (covered in buttons of course) and he'll be singing you songs about buttons. How could you go wrong with this one?
