Sumter is the county seat. In addition to the county and city, a national forest and the fort in Charleston Harbor are named after Gen.

The Sumter downtown area includes Sumter County Museum, Sumter Gallery of Art and the historic Sumter Opera House. Each spring the town holds the three-day Scottish Country Fair and Celtic Festival.
