This marker is located along US-17 at an intersection, so there's room to pull over to view it. As…read moreis typical with North Carolina markers, there is limited information on the marker but much more online. This marker reads, "Boundary House. Commissioners met here to run boundary in 1764. Popular stop for colonial travelers. Ruins used to establish present state line in 1928. Located 2 3/4 miles southeast." Online, "The Boundary House in Brunswick County earned its name because it straddled the boundary line for the Carolinas. One part of the building was in North Carolina and the other part in South Carolina. The house, sometimes referred to in documents as the Club House, was reported to have been "two and one-half miles and forty-four poles from the sea." The Boundary House is mentioned in early records, including designation as the meeting place for the boundary surveyors in 1764 and as a stop on Hugh Finlay's postal inspection tour of 1774. It appears on a United States Coast and Geodetic Survey map of 1873. A monument to the Boundary House, placed at its ruins, was used in the 1928 survey of the Carolinas' dividing line. C. B. Berry, a South Carolina surveyor who researched the Boundary House believed that it was built around 1750, after the original boundary line was run, and situated such that the line ran down the middle of the structure's center hallway. "The best known incident at the Boundary House did not involve the running of a boundary line, but involved the accessibility to South Carolina territory that the meeting place offered. In 1805 Benjamin Smith, future Governor of North Carolina, had a disagreement with his cousin Judge Alfred Moore. Because of Alfred Moore's poor health, the matter was taken up by Moore's brother Captain Maurice Moore, who challenged Smith to a duel. Since dueling was outlawed in North Carolina, officials from Brunswick attempted to thwart the contest. The duellists, their seconds, and their chosen physicians fled across the state line to South Carolina, where duels were legal. The North Carolina officers met with the dueling parties at the Boundary House, with the officers on the North Carolina side of the hall and the duelists and their attendants on the South Carolina side. The duel took place on South Carolina soil nearby. Smith was injured but recovered in the matter of a couple of weeks." This is marker D-79 and it was cast in 1976.

Dating back to 1937, the drawbridge used to be the only way to get into Myrtle Beach from Conway…read more This was how it was until the adjacent vehicular bridge was built and the drawbridge was reduced to only carrying railroad traffic. It continued this way until 2011 when the rail line was shut down by federal authorities due to other bridges in the vicinity that were unsafe. Today, this drawbridge stands permanently raised and happy to see you as you pass across into Myrtle Beach (if your bridge raising lasts more than four hours...). Perhaps one day it will be fully restored and rail traffic will flow into Myrtle Beach again. Probably not. Until then, stop by and check it out. Honor the "No trespassing!" signs as the ground is uneven. [Review 19392 overall - 966 in South Carolina - 362 of 2023.]

Absolutely beautiful area and well worth the visit…read more We took a drive out to Conway yesterday. It's truly an Americana town with so much history dating as far back to the 1732 British settlement. We took a lovely stroll on the Riverwalk and soaked in the scenery. Saw many different types of boats coming thru on the water as the trailhead is right there. Boaters can even dock, do lunch or simply just walk around town. Few people were fishing, and many families were enjoying the fully fenced in playground. A local hot spot right on the edge of the riverwalk is a place called Chanti's Pizza, it's a popular local restaurant that caters to many homeowners, as well as great reviews by numerous visitors that come to town too! Would be a perfect place to dine if spending some time here and wanting to have lunch or dinner on the water. It's truly an iconic boardwalk trail (approximately 1.5-mile of a scenic pathway) along Waccamaw River that goes under the US-501 bridge and over some extremely old railroad tracks. Stunning views of the river and an abundance of Spanish moss draping the trees. Definitely a must do if you are near this community or while traveling on vacation just as we were.

Highly recommend adding Conway downtown and the riverwalk to your local holiday sightseeing…read moreentertainment after sunset. Some light exhibitions have music to add to the ambiance.

Check out the official Conway town website for the most updated information of events starting in December - tree lighting, caroling, shows in the theater. 20-30 minutes from Myrtle Beach. Best of all, it's free. In October, definitely come back for the Halloween town when the trees are decorated with hanging pumpkins and there are spooky displays everywhere. The calendar features events like movie nights, food trucks, and the scare factory.

This marker is located in downtown Horry County in front of the county courthouse…read more On this side, it reads, "A planter of French Huguenot descent, Peter Horry (O-ree) was born in South Carolina ca.1747. A lieutenant colonel in the Revolution and later brigadier general in the SC Militia, he represented Prince George Winyah and All Saints parishes in the SC House and Senate. In 1801, Kingston County was renamed Horry District for Peter Horry. He died in 1815 and is buried at Trinity Episcopal Church in Columbia, SC." Peter Horry represented Prince George Winyah Parish in the state House of Representatives in 1782 and from 1792 to 1794, and in the state Senate from 1785 to 1787.

I especially appreciate the outdoor book drop--you can return books even when the library is closed. Signing up for a library card was straightforward and easy. The library offers printing for a small fee and has many computers available for free public use. There are plenty of tables throughout the space, both in the center and along the sides, making it a great place for independent work or studying. There's also a clearly separated children's book area, which helps keep the space organized and family-friendly. Right when you walk in, you can browse retired library books for sale at a steep discount--often just $1--which is such a fun bonus. My favorite feature is how easy it is to order books online and place them on hold--they'll text you as soon as your book is ready for pickup, which is incredibly convenient. Overall, a well-run, accessible library that makes great use of its space and services. Highly recommend.
