Cameron Art Museum
An ambitious exhibition schedule of historical and contemporary significance, plus a plethora of public educational programs and a clay studio, keep this museum on the cusp of capacity and engagement. The museum's permanent collection, contained in a sleek 40,000-square-foot facility, includes originals by Mary Cassatt and a collection of Seagrove pottery. On the 10-acre grounds are a sculpture park, picnic tables, and restored Confederate defense mounds built during a battle in the waning days of the Civil War. The museum's CAM Cafe is a local secret for lunch and weekend brunch, with reasonably priced Benedicts, quiches, and sandwiches, plus a dinner menu on Thursdays when they host live jazz.
