Town of Toomsboro - Wilkinson County

Wilkinson county has lost courthouses to fire in 1829, 1854, 1864 and 1924.

Wilkinson County has substantial kaolin deposits, which are important to the local economy.

Wilkinson County shares the Beaver Dam with Laurens County to the southeast. This was once a Wildlife Management Area owned and operated by the Department of Natural Resources, but now is privately owned. The Oconee River forms the county's eastern border.

Several interesting attractions include the Swampland Opera House in Toomsboro, and Beaver Creek at Ivy Station, which has a restored caboose, a cane mill and Civil War memorabilia.
