Williamston Municipal Center

The Williamston Municipal Center was originally constructed by WPA labor in 1939 as Williamston High School. Then in 1953, the building became Williamston Elementary School when Palmetto High School was built. It became Williamston Primary School in 1972 when Palmetto Middle School was formed.

In 1983 the remaining primary students were moved to the new Palmetto Primary School. At that time, the building was purchased by the Town of Williamston.

The Town of Williamston is home to one of the oldest public parks in America. Research has shown that Mineral Spring Park is possibly the third oldest public park in the country.

The town also has two smaller parks. The downtown area is adjacent to recreational areas that include baseball and soccer fields, Mineral Spring Park, Mineral Spring Trail and a Veterans Park.
