Thursday & Friday April 10th-12th, 2025
The last two days, we have just been enjoying the sights in Georgetown. What a great unique waterfront downtown. Georgetown is the 3rd oldest city in South Carolina, founded in 1729. It was known for Indigo and Rice Plantations.
We visited the Maritime museum, went on a swamp fox tour (which was a jeep pulling a tram). The guide was very informative and the homes here are beautiful. Many are over two hundred years old and on the national historic register.
We also visited the Gullah Geechee Museum. The Gullah culture and language was created by Africans brought to the Sea Islands of South Carolina during colonial times. The museum also highlights the contributions of the Gullah people to the Carolina rice culture.
We took a tour of the Kiminski House Museum. That was also very interesting. They had some pieces that belonged to the Kiminski family dating back to the 1600’s.
The streets had lots of one of a kind shops and all the restaurants were locally owned. There are no chains allowed in the old downtown. So very quaint.
There were also quite a few wrecks in the harbor.
Now we are off to Wacca Wachee Marina near Murrells Inlet/Murtle Beach, SC where we plan to stay two nights.
