The early 1960’s saw the young society take on its first major project.  During the demolishing of an old home in Greenville, a log structure was discovered within.  Believing that the log home dated to the 1830’s, the Historical Society took on the task of moving the original timbers and rebuilding them at the City Park.  After a few years of members donating labor and materials, the historic log home was opened to the public in 1962.  Unfortunately, by the 1970’s years of weathering finally took their toll on the aged logs and the cabin became unusable and was later taken down.

By the 1970’s the society had also outgrown its museum space at the courthouse.  Through the efforts of Mrs. Susan Hoiles and Mrs. Pauline Watson, the society was loaned space in the basement of the Greenville Public Library.  On March 11, 1973 a grand opening was held for the new museum in the room under the library’s rotunda.  For the next several years items in the collection were organized, labeled, and displayed in the room and opened free to the public on Sunday afternoons.
