HIDDEN 

GEMS Worth Discovering ! 

In beautiful locations across the world, the people who call those places 

home are typically familiar with a few lesser-known spots, new residents 

and lucky visitors deserve to appreciate. 

We are sharing a few here but keep our secrets if you can! 

Oyster Landing: Murrells Inlet 

Down a nondescript gravel road, just off Highway 17 in 

Murrells Inlet, soak up scenery only Oyster Landing can deliver. 

There’s little printed info about this hidden gem, and it’s loosely 

referred to as a boat ramp, but there is more to know. 

Although it is separated from Huntington Beach State Park by 

a couple of swanky residential neighborhoods, Oyster Landing is 

a public park property. On the eastern side of Highway 17 just 

south of the point where Business and Bypass 17 split (Hwy. 17 

Business will take you into the village to enjoy restaurants, 

Marsh Deane 

Marsh Deane 


shopping, and the Marshwalk), the gated but unmanned 

entrance (Oyster Landing Road) flies under the radar in all the 

best ways. The gates are open from dawn to dusk. 

There are multiple reasons the place is magic. The little strip 

of roadway winds through a lovely stretch of maritime woodlands 

before opening onto stunning marsh views. Creeks and marsh 

expanses studded by tiny island 

hummocks (pirates hid here!) 

stretch north, south, and east 

to the ocean beyond. If you are 

seeking a place to simply park, 

rest and reflect, this is your spot. 

With an ample stretch of 

accessible marsh shoreline, there 

is no better place to launch a 

small boat or kayak. In truth, 

there is no ramp; simply back in, 

drop your boat, and park your 

vehicle. You need to watch the 

tides carefully, so you don’t get 

stuck in the marsh on a falling 

tide. When the tide falls low, you won’t be able to negotiate 

your way back until the tide turns once again. 

Low tide is the right time to don your mud boots and wander 

out to harvest oysters and clams. When the tide is higher, you 

can fish from the shore, toss a shrimp net, or drop a crab trap. 

Children swim and splash in the shallows. 

Please be sure to wear appropriate shoes, and do NOT go 

barefooted. Oyster shells and pluff mud can quickly become a 

dicey proposition. 

The Landing property has expanded in recent years and offers 

more parking than before. That positions Oyster Landing as the 

just-right location to park your car and head out on a bike ride 

or run on the Waccamaw Neck Bikeway. Go south, and you’ll 

weave through the edges of Huntington Beach to Litchfield and 

beyond. Head north, and you’ll meander the charming fishing 

village. Either way, the views are supreme.

Black River Cypress Preserve: Andrews 

You are going to be blown away by this magnificent locale 

deep in the countryside but only thirty short minutes from 

historic Georgetown. We know because we only recently 

stumbled upon the treasure ourselves! 

Tucked into SC’s coastal plain, 

this place – and its centerpiece, 

the Scenic Black River – is home 

to some of the country’s richest 

natural resources. That is not an 

exaggeration. Newly open, this 

privately-owned 1,000-acre nature 

preserve serves as an outdoor 

education and recreation site that 

offers an opportunity to experience 

some of North America’s most 

diverse and exotic ecosystems— 

from mysterious black water swamps 

The Black River Cypress Preserve is privately owned and funded and seeks 

and rivers to sparkling pine 

to “create future conservationists.” See CypressPreserve.org for more details! 

savannas. Visitors can investigate 

via winding hiking and biking trails, or paddle through the 

swamps along maintained canoe and kayak trails. Birdwatching 

is off the charts. 

You must make reservations as a group of six or more. They 

welcome, (but only by appointment!) church groups, civic clubs, 

environmental groups, hiking and paddling groups, photography, 

cultural and natural history groups and more. School groups are 

especially beloved by the Preserve; education and fitness are central 

to their mission statement, and school groups and youth programs 

are free. Facilities for meetings and leadership groups are available. 

Entry to the Cypress Preserve is free of charge, as is biking and 

hiking on the property. 

Speaking of biking and hiking, as we head to press they have 

Saturday morning hikes and bikes – and they provide the gear! 

– free of charge. Find details and a schedule on their Black River 

Cypress Preserve Facebook page. 

Black River Cypress P 


Style 2023 • TheLitchfieldCompany.com


SC’s Scenic Black River 

- a protected designation - is a classic 

Southeastern blackwater river, 

flowing through hardwood forests to 

a coastal landscape of salt-marsh 

estuaries and barrier islands. 

Make reservations in advance, email Sarah@cypresspreserve.org to get 

on the waiting list for any Saturday event. 

If we had more space, we would write volumes. Please find 

time to peruse a wealth of information – including details about 

specific programs – at CypressPreserve.org and Facebook. You

Hobcaw Observation Pier : Georgetown 

Barely north of Georgetown, the “broken bridge” that runs 

parallel to the Siau Bridges serves up stellar views and an 

opportunity for anglers to enjoy reaching portions of the river 

inaccessible without a boat. Sometimes it is called the Hobcaw 

Fishing Pier. So, for those who even notice it at all, it is widely 

assumed as only a place for fishing. Never assume. This place is 

certifiably an off-the-beaten-path treasure. 

The entrance is located on the west side of Highway 17, between 

the two bridges. Follow the rough but short dirt and gravel 

roadway to a relatively small parking lot. Scout’s honor, it will 

be worth those few bumps in the road. 

The Pier punctuates the Pee Dee and, at the end, there’s a 

covered gazebo. Bring a lightweight chair, a book, and a beverage, 

and sit for a while. Solid-as-a-rock bridge rails create a safe barrier 

for children to scamper about and peer out at the river. 

Birdwatching is real fun. It is an uber-great place to walk for 

exercise; the bridge’s slight incline ups the good-for-you quotient. 

One fine day found a young married couple doing a wellchoreographed 

exercise routine as they powerwalked up and back 

again. The views – Winyah Bay on one side and the Pee Dee 

River on the other – are stellar, especially at sunrise and sunset. 

The Pier is open from 6 AM to midnight seven days a week. 

There is a porta-potty if you dare. On the Pier, looking east to 

the hustle and hurry of the traffic crossing the Siau bridges, you 

will feel whole worlds away. Go soon. 

Morgan Park : Downtown Georgetown 

The gem that is Morgan Park is tucked away on the southern 

tip of the larger and better-known East Bay Park located at 515 

East Bay St. In East Bay, there’s access to tennis courts, baseball 

and softball fields, a large playground, and a public boat ramp, 

too. And other stuff. But it is Morgan Park, a more under-theradar 

treasure, we want to tell you about here. 

Just off the Winyah Bay end of Front St., Georgetown's main 

drag, is a parking area for East Bay Park. Seek out the Morgan Park 

sign. A short walk down a grassy path from East Bay Park, visitors 

cross a boardwalk and meander a lovely maritime forest trail. And 

then Morgan Park unfurls. Depending on tides, there is as much 

as a mile of shoreline for scenic strolls – or for a chair, book, and 

beverage. (No swimming, though! Currents are very unpredictable 

here on the edge of Winyah Bay and the Sampit River.)

Several short boardwalks and trails weave through the woods 

and offer opportunities for sweeping waterfront vistas. Both 

grassy and straw-covered open areas are perfect for kids at play. 

Picnic shelters with tables make this an ideal destination for a 

romantic picnic and for families, too. Grown-ups seeking solitude 

find it here in spades; the Park rarely, if ever, has a crowd. If 

need be, you can head back over to East Bay Park to use the 

public restroom facilities. 

Morgan Park’s location has always made it a strategic site. As 

early as 1776, an earthen fort that later came to be known as Fort 

“Winyaw” was constructed here. Later, it figured significantly 

in the War of 1812. And later still, in the Revolutionary War, 

General Francis Marion, SC’s beloved Swamp Fox, fought here. 

Morgan Park was named to honor the significant accomplishments 

of William Doyle Morgan, Georgetown’s mayor from 1891 

through 1906. One of his finest triumphs was the planting of 

three hundred live oak trees in the heart of Downtown. 

Georgetown’s spectacularly beautiful Historic District owes much 

to Morgan and his trees. 

Morgan Park is a special place worth discovery. If you have 

not been before, get set for surprise. Admission is free. 





ROBIN R. SALMON 

Curator, Activist, Scribe... 

Brookgreen Gardens is an indisputable treasure, not only of Georgetown 

County but of the world. The skillful integration of magnificent art with 

the complementary splendor of the Lowcountry’s natural beauty undergirds 

its peerless reputation. There's also a wildlife park, ricefields and freshwater 

marsh, boat and overland Trekker tours, an ever-expanding 

assortment of new installations, special events, exhibitions and more. 

The history of the property is astounding. Frankly, it’s impossible to 

comprehend the treasure Brookgreen is without knowing all its stories. 

Robin Salmon knows those stories – nearly, if not all of them, we’d 

venture to say. A native from Columbia, SC, she is quick to share. 

Many are about the sculptures and sculptors themselves – her first love 

as VP of Art and Historical Collections and as Curator. But she also 

knows the stories about the famous faces and the ones who, but for 

her, might have been forgotten. Having worked at Brookgreen just 

shy of an astounding fifty years, she can expound on every nuance of 

Brookgreen’s long, lush history. It is, in fact, impossible to know the 

Gardens without knowing something about Robin. 

Initially she was hired at Brookgreen because she could type. At the 

time she began working there, the art and history collections numbered 

around 350 objects. Through the years, the number has grown to more 

than 3,000. 

She is the author of five books about Brookgreen Gardens collections, 

a co-author of seven other books on art and history and writer of 

countless academic essays and articles for exhibit catalogs, magazines, 

and other prestigious publications. Little wonder she’s awarded, soughtout, 

beloved … all the adjectives and a few more. 

Salmon is a respected figure in the art world. In 2007, she received 

the National Sculpture Society’s Sculpture House Award for outstanding 

service to American Figurative Sculpture. She was the 2018 recipient 

of the Gari Melchers Memorial Medal given by the Artists’ Fellowship 

of New York City for materially furthering the interests of the fine arts 

profession. In 2022, she received the National Sculpture Society’s Medal 

of Honor in recognition of her outstanding support of the field of 

American Sculpture and Sculptors through her work as a professional 

curator, historian, archivist, writer, and editor. She has served on panels 

of the National Endowment for the Arts, American Alliance of Museums, 

Southeastern Museums Conference, SC Federation of Museums, and 

on juries for museums, galleries, and art organizations. And those are 

only highlights from a national stage. 

She has received numerous awards and honors, including the South 

Carolina Order of the Palmetto, the highest civilian honor in the state. 

Salmon was also inducted into the South Carolina Hall of Fame in 2018. 

On Georgetown County’s own stomping grounds, Salmon is a 

powerhouse. She is President of the board of directors of the 

Georgetown County Historical Society and Museum and is a member 

of the planning committee of the Georgetown County Women’s Hall 

of Fame. She has been a nominee for the Elizabeth O’Neill Verner 

Award, SC’s highest honor in the arts. There’s a crazy string of positions, 

contributions, and accolades. And still, she remains unpretentious and 

delightfully soft-spoken with long, white, gray hair that lends a befitting 

air of dignity. 

Robin Salmon is one of an elite few who can take so much credit 

for shaping Brookgreen into the revered institution it has become. 

Those among us who know Robin Salmon know the Gardens could 

never have become all they are today without her unfaltering patience, 

quiet wisdom, and single-minded dedication to Brookgreen – and to 

this community we call home.

LEE G.BROCKINGTON 

Historian...and Infinitely More 

Once upon a time, Lee Brockington was Curator of Education 

for the Historic Columbia Foundation. It’s a job (and a calling!) she 

stumbled into during her years studying public affairs and public 

relations at Columbia College. Now, she has a bachelor’s degree and a 

master’s degree, and a wealth of supplementary courses in history, 

ecology, anthropology, and more beneath her belt. 

Brockington also has a lengthy curriculum vitae of leadership roles 

and experiences that offer evidence she is a historic preservation advocate, 

a cultural heritage protector and a community-minded educator. She’s 

a renowned public speaker and often serves as MC for all sorts of 

educational and community events. Behind a lectern, she can hold a 

crowd rapt and keep them laughing while they’re learning. She teaches 

by way of lectures given at local libraries and through CLASS. 

(Investigate oodles of courses and programs at ClassAtPawleys.com.) 

Her contributions to the preservation of physical places and historical 

minutia are immeasurable. Her research has been published in countless 

newspapers and magazines. She’s authored and co-authored books 

that include Plantation Between the Waters: A Brief History of Hobcaw 

Barony and Pawleys Island: Stories from the Porch. She was a key player 

in the restoration of the Georgetown County Courthouse, the Kaminski 

House Museum, and Hopsewee Plantation. And no one could argue 

her roster of achievements at Hobcaw Barony. After discovering and 

falling in love with the place in 1983, she campaigned for a job and 

got it, moving from Columbia to Pawleys Island the next year. She 

remained at Hobcaw, in various capacities, for decades. 

Inexhaustible, Brockington's engagement with many community 

organizations has included, among others, the Georgetown County 

Historical Society, the County’s Library System, the League of Women 

Voters, and the Georgetown County Landmarks Commission. 

She is active in her church, Pawleys Island Presbyterian. She has received 

numerous honors and awards including the coveted Order of the 

Palmetto, the highest civilian honor in SC. She has also been recognized 

by the SC Historical Society and the National Trust for Historic 

Preservation. The list goes on. 

Aside from all the accolades, Lee Brockington is a kind-hearted soul, 

exceedingly generous with her time, knowledge, and resources. 

Face-to-face or in front of a crowd, she speaks with an animated smile, 

making a quirky face now and again to drive a point home. She listens 

well, is wonderfully approachable and easily draws people into her stories. 

People brighten up and feel better when engaging with her. It’s been 

said her husband, sadly deceased, wouldn’t let her go to the post office 

on Saturdays because he knew she would stay for hours chatting with 

one friend or another. That is Lee Brockington. 

These days, Lee’s busy with a happy-making enterprise called Imagine 

Charters. She and Captain Paul Kenny, a former marine scientist with the 

USC-Baruch Marine Laboratory, are offering three-hour guided tours 

up and down the rivers and tributaries of Winyah Bay to Sandy Island, 

Arcadia, and the Pee Dee. Aboard a canopy-covered pontoon boat, they’ll 

tell you about history and ecology, mysteries, and ghost stories. To find 

info, including dates and availabilities, visit ClassAtPawleys.com, click 

on CLASS List & Publishing at the top of the page, then scroll down 

to Travel with CLASS. You can also call 843.235.9600 to ask questions. 

So next time you bump into Lee at the post office, tell her Georgetown 

County is a markedly better place because we call her our own. 

Much of this information was sourced from an article written by Anita Crone 

and published in The Sun News on May 13, 2017. 




GEORGETOWN 

COUNTY AIRPORT 

The U.S. Dept. of Economic Development Administration (EPA) recently announced a $3.6 million investment towards infrastructure improvements 

to support business growth in Georgetown County. This projct will provide site upgrades at Georgetown County Airport to develop 

two commercial hangars, including updated water and sewer lines and a new taxiway, as well as engineering design services. 

 

FLYING HIGH! 

 

The Georgetown County Airport is located on Highway 17 just a 

few miles south of historic Downtown Georgetown. Receiving and 

servicing corporate jets, private charters, emergency service aircraft, 

and smaller private planes, this critical piece of County infrastructure is 

growing at a pace that would surprise many residents and guests of 

Georgetown County and the larger Lowcountry. The bustling facility 

– frequently, upwards of thirty flight plans are serviced each day! – 

brings a wide variety of opportunities to our area. At well more than 

$20 million a year, its economic impact is significant – and then some! 

The 645-acre general aviation airport currently has a 6,000 linear 

foot runway that accommodates very large aircraft, as well as a secondary 

runway about 4,500 feet long, and a tertiary decommissioned runway. 

Because it is situated midway between Charleston’s history and the 

hustle of Myrtle Beach, Georgetown serves as the southern anchor of 

the Grand Strand and a perfect gateway for accommodating vacationing 

travelers, and business-related traffic and as a destination airport for the 

area’s numerous upscale communities. Many executives live locally because 

they can easily fly elsewhere for professional demands. Conversely, those 

who have home bases in a different place find it easy to come and go 

maximizing the enjoyment of secondary homes on the Hammock Coast. 

The Georgetown Airport 

offers a full range of 

meeting & convention 

facilities. Call Jim Taylor: 

843-545-3638. 

The third, decommissioned runway at the airport is fairly exploding 

with activity. The county and Seven Rivers Aviation, the airport’s fullservice 

Fixed Base Operator, have worked hard at developing, enhancing, 

and managing airport facilities to support continued growth and demand. 

Multiple aviation-related, limited-use commercial parcels are under 

lease and the number continues to climb. Sherpa, a major company that 

provides strategic engineering and technical services to commercial and 

governmental organizations, was one of the first and biggest. Nearly 

seventy aircraft are already based here, and new hangars – large and 

small – are in the works. Charter business is soaring (pardon the pun). 

And other related businesses – like those specializing in the interior 

customization of planes and all sorts of aircraft maintenance – are 

setting up shop. Airport Manager, Jim Taylor, calls year-to-year growth 

“simply amazing.” 



In summary, the Georgetown County Airport is a county cornerstone 

of which to be proud. It delivers an ever-growing roster of job 

opportunities, supports the tourism and real estate industries, stimulates, 

and sustains the broader geographic area’s “big business” prospects, 

and affords significant sources of tax revenue. This revenue is used to 

fund various projects and programs in the county, including infrastructure 

development, education, and public safety. As the airport continues to 

grow and expand, it will remain central to sustaining a brand of economic 

development that keeps Georgetown County flying high. 

For more information about the Georgetown County Airport 

call Airport Manager, Jim Taylor, at 843-545-3638. The website 

address is GeorgetownCountyAirport.com. If you want info about 

the airport’s day-to-day management, contact Seven Rivers Aviation 

(SevenRiversAviation.com), the Fixed Base Operator that operates all 

the comings and goings at the airport. You can call them at 843-527-7516. 

YOUNG EAGLES 

TAKE WING! 

Young Eagles, a program created by the US Experimental Aircraft 

Association, was designed to give children between the ages of 8 to 17 

an opportunity to experience flight in a general aviation airplane – and 

learn about the joy and opportunities of aircraft operation. Thanks to 

volunteer pilots and on-ground personnel, the priceless program is 

offered at no cost, and administrated by Seven Rivers Aviation, at the 

Georgetown County Airport. 

“Young Eagles strives to build relationships between aviation experts 

and impressionable young minds,” says Barry Brock. A pilot himself, 

he is also the CEO of Seven Rivers Aviation. “We want to give the 

upcoming generation a chance to know the feeling of flying and to 

learn more about the industry’s career opportunities.” 

Young Eagles is the only program of its kind. In little more than 25 

years, more than two million children in ninety countries have been 

inspired by the magic of flying. Call 843-527-7516 if you want to 

introduce a kid to the magic of flying.

In the 2022 issue of Litchfield Style, we spent more than a few pages telling you about extraordinary growth in and 

around Downtown Georgetown. Truth is, exciting indications of progress are taking shape all over the County. It is not 

surprising as the entire area is one of the Southeast’s most desirable locations for businesses – large and small. There are 

many financial and transportation advantages and, with a population of over 60,000 residents, the county offers a 

diverse and skilled workforce. It is also a place where those who live and work here enjoy a distinctly enviable lifestyle. 

Here are fast facts to consider: 

• Georgetown County is centrally located on the east coast • Port of Georgetown is in town 

• Sixty miles north of Charleston’s deepwater port • Local FBO airport • Myrtle Beach International Airport 35 miles North 

• Charleston International Airport 68 miles South • Rail, Gas, and Barge Access 

Georgetown County is strategically positioned between Myrtle Beach and Charleston. Easily accessible by land, sea, and air, 

this prime location offers easy access to two of the state's largest cities, as well as access to a variety of transportation options 

including several major highways and rail lines. That makes it an ideal location for businesses that need to move 

goods and products quickly and efficiently. 

From manufacturing to healthcare and hospitality, the county's workforce is well-trained and ready to meet the needs of any 

business. In addition, the county is home to learning opportunities – including Horry Georgetown Technical College and 

nearby Coastal Carolina University. 

SC and Georgetown County offer a variety of financial advantages to businesses that choose to locate here. For starters, SC provides 

a variety of customized incentive programs to help any company offset the costs of starting or expanding a business, including: 

• Corporate income tax credits and low tax rates • Discretionary income, license or withholding tax incentives 

• Job development and job retraining • Discretionary incentives and property tax incentives, too 

• Economic incentives include job creation tax credits, Fee in Lieu Of, research & development and investment credits 

• SC is a Right To Work state 

Georgetown County is not your typical coastal County. Our commerce history reads more like an industrialized port city, 

rather than purely a world-renowned resort. Three corporate industrial parks, a technology park, land and buildings are already 

in place. Local (in addition to state) tax incentives through the County’s Economic Development Department are worth 

knowing more about. In this place we are so fortunate to call home, businesses of all sizes have access to every 

tool they need for achieving success. 

Whether starting a new business or expanding an existing one, Georgetown County has everything you need to exceed your 

goals. Get started by visiting the Georgetown County Economic Alliance, SeeGeorgetown.com, for all manner of important details 

Advanced Manufacturing Centers Offer Specialized Training 

The Manufacturing industry is recognized as one of the top “cluster industries” in Georgetown County. Because it is essential 

to our ongoing economic prosperity, individuals proficient in the areas of Advanced Welding Technology, Machine 

Tool/CNC, and Mechatronics are among the most sought-after and highly paid workers in the entire country! 

In response to local and national industry demands, HGTC has an Advanced Manufacturing Center in Conway and in Georgetown. 

Conway Campus 250 Allied Drive • Conway 

The 25,000 sq. ft. facility in Conway is home to Advanced Welding Technologies, 

Machine Tool Technology, and Machine Tool Operations programs. 

Georgetown Campus 4003 S. Fraser St., Bldg. 1000 • Georgetown 

The 30,000 sq. ft. facility in Georgetown is also home to training in Advanced Welding Technologies and Machine Tool 

Technology, as well as programs in Mechatronics Technology, and Mechatronics Certificate Programs.

Butter Boards 

Trending Now! 

Alyssa Rivers at TheRecipeCritic.com says,“This just might be one of the 

easiest food trends to replicate right now! It only takes a few steps, and then you will 

be on your way to indulging in this insanely delicious butter board!” 

If you count 

yourself among 

the foodie crowd, 

it is likely you 

have heard about 

Butter Boards, one 

of the latest and most 

delicious trends to explode 

on the culinary scene. These 

boards are gaining popularity, 

especially in home kitchens. 

They look oh-so-impressive, and 

it is a delightfully manageable task 

to whip one up in short order. 

The concept involves little more than a platter, 

board, or tray to craft a dish showcasing butter and a 

host of other garnishes. Diners then select from a dizzying 

array of possible toppings to customize their butter and bread 

to their liking. Move over meat and cheese; butter boards are 

giving charcuterie a run for its money! 

To showcase butter in all its glory, the typical vehicle for your 

masterpiece is usually made of wood or stone, but any pretty, 

portable surface will do. The butter must be top-quality, sometimes 

presented in a block or roll, but mostly spread out in luscious 

swirls of flavor and surrounded by toppings that might include 

honey, herbs and spices, jams, and fruits. Kerry Gold is a creamy 

Irish butter that is readily available and always a good choice, 

but herb-infused butter, truffle butter, and honey butter are also 

welcome on the plate. 

Butter boards can be the star of a party all alone, but a smaller 

version sometimes takes the place of a traditional bread basket or 

plate. Instead of simply providing bread with butter on the side, 

the bread on a butter board is sliced and arranged alongside other 

toppings. You can opt for sweet or savory to create a culinary 

experience that is interactive, unforgettable and just plain fun.

“The Grazing Board” 

" “A butter board is the 

next charcuterie board 

trend. Don’t quote me on it 

- but if happens...then you can 

quote me on it." 

- Justine Doiron 


Head to ChicaandJo.com for mouth 

watering butter board ideas including 

this lemon, fig, and honey version. 

Justine Doiron is a recipe developer whose raved-about 

TikTok videos have practically blown up the internet. See her 

topping butter with lots of flaky salt, herbs, edible flowers, 

lemon zest, honey, and red onions, then serving it up with fresh, 

crusty bread for slathering. Juliana Hale, a senior culinary 

specialist in the Better Homes & Gardens Test Kitchen, went 

savory with a combination of sautéed cremini mushrooms 

deglazed with balsamic vinegar, pickled onion, herbs, and blue 

cheese crumbles. And a food stylist from Dotdash Meredith, 

Annie Probst, suggests a sweet alternative achieved by topping 

compound butter with a variety of nuts, dried fruit, and a 

cinnamon-sugar sprinkle. Consider that 

with a warm piece of pumpkin, raisin, or 

cinnamon bread!

Freezer Door Cocktails 

ALL THE RAGE! 

If you follow trends in the food and beverage 

world, you have probably heard about Freezer Door 

Cocktails. Once upon a time, they may have been 

called Ice Box Drinks, but the new appellation seems 

better suited for today’s refined world of mixology. 

The concept is quite sophisticated and quite 

simple – batch cocktails of your own creation in a 

bottle. No one will stop you from serving your cold 

potions in carafes and other pretty containers, but 

it’s even easier to make an all-in-one pre-mixed drink 

directly in the liquor bottle of your choice. 

Assemble ingredients; you’re set! 

Sophisticated or simple, 

this cocktail trend is 

fun and easy to tailor for 

every occasion! 

Here are a few reasons Freezer Door Cocktails are having a welldeserved 

day in the sun. If you’re throwing a soiree or simply like the 

convenience of an ever-ready cocktail, this 

brand of beverage is made to make ahead and 

enjoy – alone or in company – whenever you 

choose. Super versatile, you can make them 

with endless combinations of ingredients 

you like – from fruit juices to liquors to 

herbs and spices. For a refreshing and fruity 

option, mix frozen strawberries, lime juice, 

and tequila or try a frosty fusion of gin, tonic 

water, and cucumber slices. 

You won’t have to go it alone to find inspiration. Cookbook author, 

J.M. Hirsch, along with dozens of other afficionados, await you online: 

Search #freezerdoorcocktail! for videos-gone-viral introducing upto-the-minute

Batch cocktails made in the bottle are “a fun and easy way to

yourself you get to select the ingredients and adjust the flavors to suit 

you.” Author of multiple cookbooks, a favorite is Pour Me

street says Hirsh will release an entire book of freezer box recipes in 

Spring of 2024! 

Katlyn Moncade, Food Editor for Better Homes & Gardens, 

sings Hirsch’s praises and agrees with all the hype: “… Freezer 

door cocktails are a fun and creative way to experiment with different 

flavors and ingredients.”

If you were born here, you know boiled peanuts are an 

obsession for good reason. If you don’t know – bless your 

heart – you’re a Johnny-come-lately; sit up and act right. We’re

assimilation easy and delicious.

Boiled Peanuts 

"Boiling peanuts requires a large pot and 

lots of fingers for shelling, so it lends itself 

naturally to social gatherings." 

-Robert Moss, SeriousEats.com 

The story of boiled peanuts and how they came to be an 

iconic Southern delicacy is crazy interesting and much longer 

than you would expect. Enjoyed for generations, they are not 

native to this place. They arrived via an exceedingly circuitous 

route, and we are lucky they became indispensable to the 

heart of Southern culture. 

Artificial Intelligence (AI) will tell 

you they were introduced to the US 

by African slaves during the 17th 

century. While not altogether inaccurate, 

the larger history goes much farther 

back in time to South America. The 

Portuguese introduced Africans to 

them around 1500, give or take some 

years. Know this; peanuts are NOT 

nuts that look like peas; they are the 

opposite – peas that look like nuts. 

Similar to Africa’s indigenous “groundnut” 

– an African staple with more oil – it was 

easier to cultivate and spread quickly 

across Africa. 

The next stage is probably evident. 

Slaves brought them to America on 

Transatlantic slave ships and cultivated 

them in their own tiny garden plots 

entirely separate from plantation kitchen 

gardens. Inevitably, those West Africans 

– comprising more than half the 

A Southern Passion 

existing population of some Southern colonies – shared their 

knowledge of a food source that was high in nutrition, easy 

and versatile to prepare, and well-suited to Southern climates. 

Back then they were something called “goobers,” a term 

straight from the Angolan language. Decades passed before 

the public settled on “peanuts” as a name. 

Since then, the story of peanuts has only grown richer. 

Some report them being a food staple for Confederate soldiers. 

That’s not an untrue story, but those details – along with 

unexpected twists 

along the way – are 

worth reading about. 

The larger narrative 

involves railroad workers, 

governmental committee 

meetings, important 

agricultural details, and 

debates among farmers, 

cooks, journalists, and politicians. Google the Keating 

Goober Rights Amendment. Truth is sometimes stranger 

than fiction. 

For a fascinating look at the much longer story of how 

peanuts became an indisputable symbol of Southern culture, 

head to SeriousEats.com and read “The Real Origins of the 

Boiled Peanut” and “How Congress Almost Killed the 

Southern Boiled Peanut,” both penned by Robert Moss. 

The history of the boiled peanut is far more layered than 

cheap and convenient sustenance for people and animals. 

Boiled peanuts span the range of Southern society, from the 

slave chefs who invented the dish to the white cooks who ran 

with the idea as party food. Thank goodness the story unfolded 

as it did; we’d be lost without boiled peanuts to snack on. 

SC Department of Agriculture 

Peanuts grow on low, green vines and are 

quite unusual. After pollination, their 

flower stalks bend and burrow into the 

soil where fruit develops underground 

into the pods we know as peanuts. 

You’ll find them at roadside stands, convenience stores, and almost 

every self-respecting Southern festival. 

In a nutshell, if you’re not from around these parts, trust 

us here at Litchfield Style. There’s a recipe for boiling peanuts 

on the next page 26 Try them with an open mind. Goodness 

knows, there will be plenty of takers if you opt to forego your pot 

of . (boiled peanut) gold. 



Southern Recipes 

Making boiled peanuts is simple and requires few ingredients. Below is a basic Southern recipe 

for making boiled peanuts at home. If you want to get fancy, you can add Cajun spices, garlic, 

onions, even pickles and jalapenos. You’ll find scads of variations online. 


INGREDIENTS: 

• 1 lb. raw peanuts (in-shell) 

• 1/2 cup salt 

• Water 

INSTRUCTIONS: 

• Rinse peanuts in cold water to remove dirt and debris. 

• In a large pot, add peanuts, salt to taste (that’s A LOT), 

and enough water to cover the peanuts by at least two inches. 

• Bring the water to a boil over high heat. 

• Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer the peanuts 

for 4 to 8 hours, until they are soft and fully cooked. 

Add more water, as necessary. Sample often and add 

additional salt if needed. 

• Remove pot from heat and let peanuts cool in the liquid. 

• Drain peanuts and serve warm or at room temperature. 

They’re mighty fine after being refrigerated, too. 

Boiled Peanut Hummus

Boiled Peanut Hummus is an unexpected and extra special 

treat perfect for parties, ballgames, picnics, even your 

basic cocktail party.

Spicy Boiled Peanuts 

If you crave bold and fiery flavors, get ready to ignite your 

taste buds with this mouth-watering recipe for zesty Cajun 

peanuts! An ice-cold beer takes first choice for a grown-up 

accompaniment! Lemonade for the younger set! 

INGREDIENTS: 

2 pounds of peanuts (raw or green) in shells 

1/4 cup kosher salt 

3 tablespoons Cajun (or Creole) seasoning 

1 to 3 teaspoons crushed red pepper 

1 1/2 teaspoons liquid smoke 

1 teaspoon of garlic powder 

4 + quarts water 

INSTRUCTIONS: 

Place a large six to eight-quart Dutch oven over high heat. 

Add the peanuts, salt, Cajun seasoning, crushed red pepper, 

liquid smoke, and garlic powder. Pour in four quarts of 

water, more if needed to completely cover the peanuts 

when they are pushed down. 

Cover the pot and bring to a boil. Once boiling, stir well, 

then lower the heat to a mild simmer. Cover and cook for 

two to three hours for green peanuts or six to eight 

hours for raw peanuts. Check the water level every hour 

and add warm tap water if needed. 

Green Peanuts vs Raw Peanuts 

Green Peanuts are “fresh from the farm” peanuts.They take less time to cook, but are perishable. If you buy them more than a 

day before cooking, they will need to be refrigerated. Raw Peanuts are raw but dried, so they are safe to sit out for a week or 

two at room temperature.They can take up to double the amount of cooking time, depending on the method you use.

“An Award Winning Vacation Destination” 

By Mark A. Stevens, Director of Tourism Development 

Georgetown County Chamber of Commerce 

South Carolina's Hammock Coast 

In recent years, national accolades for South Carolina’s Hammock Coast 

have swept in like the ocean tide. 

In fact, in March of 2023, Southern Living Magazine, in its Best of the 

South edition, said this: “South Carolina’s Hammock Coast is known for 

its rich history, generous hospitality, and natural Lowcountry beauty... 

You’ll have plenty to write home about no matter what you get into.” 

For generations, South Carolina’s Hammock Coast has quietly given 

beach lovers, golfers, families, outdoor enthusiasts and history buffs a 

vacation destination infused with Southern charm and natural beauty. 

The Hammock Coast is the official tourism moniker for Georgetown 

County, and it perfectly describes the destination. It’s all about relaxation 

with a twist of history! (The Pawleys Island Rope Hammock has been 

famously made here for generations, with people as far away as California 

ordering them!) 

Perfectly located between Myrtle Beach to the north and Charleston to 

the south, the Hammock Coast is made up of the beach communities of 

Pawleys Island, Litchfield Beach, Murrells Inlet, DeBordieu and southern 

Garden City, as well as the historic cities of Georgetown and Andrews. 

Each area has its own distinct personality, but when combined as the 

Hammock Coast, they all form a unique attraction. 

Pawleys Island is, in fact, the oldest seaside resort in America and continues 

to be a great place to enjoy a quiet, laid-back vacation. As the birthplace of 

the famed Pawleys Island rope hammock, relaxation has a long history here. 

Murrells Inlet is proudly known as the “Seafood Capital of South Carolina” 

with a high-light being the MarshWalk, a half-mile-long boardwalk on the 

banks of the Inlet. 

Between the business districts of Murrells Inlet and Litchfield Beach, 

ranked by TripAdvisor as one of America’s Top 10 beaches, are two of the 

Hammock Coast’s most famous locations – Brookgreen Gardens and 

Huntington Beach State Park. 

Award-winning golf, with 12 public courses within a 15-minute drive, 

dots the Hammock Coast. The Waccamaw Golf Trail slides through the 

Hammock Coast offering the best in golf anywhere in the United States. 

For the history buff, Georgetown is South Carolina’s third oldest city, 

founded in 1729, and Andrews, located 18 miles inland from Georgetown, 

offers the perfect place to experience the natural world. From sporting 

clays to kayaking along the winding Black River, Andrews is an outdoor 

enthusiast’s dream. 

The Georgetown County Chamber of Commerce operates two official 

Visitor Centers: at 531 Front St. in Georgetown and 28 Wall St. in 

Pawleys Island. 

Here on South Carolina’s Hammock Coast, you can rediscover life with 

no schedules and the importance of true relaxation. The only itinerary you 

may need is a tide chart!

Caring for OUR COMMUNITY 

(CHRSC) 

This treasured charitable organization 

has been changing the lives of area 

youth since 2014, when a Teen After 

School Center (TASC) was established 

in Georgetown, SC in partnership 

with the SC Department of Juvenile 

Justice. From the beginning, they 

sought to encourage healthy 

lifestyles and teach positive life skills 

The rain stopped so this little boy and in ways that feed bodies and minds 

classmates could gather collard greens. and facilitate life successes. In 2018, 

They harvested more than 140 lbs! another TASC opened in Pawleys 

Island and last year, an office was 

maintained in Myrtle Beach, as well. The nonprofits’ programs 

are quite literally changing lives by embracing the intention to “teach, 

feed and succeed.” 

Thanks to grants, fundraising endeavors, and the selfless involvement 

of dozens upon dozens of volunteers, growth has been impressive on 

many fronts. In 2008, the organization teamed up with the Amachi 

program, a Big Brothers, Big Sister’s outreach that connects children 

with incarcerated parents to role models from all walks of life, especially 

those from faith-based organizations. Very often, houses of worship and 

their congregations are an ideal solution for providing a safe, stable 

environment for children to develop into 

responsible young men and women. 

CHRSC has developed numerous 

youth-focused programs over the years. 

Today CHRSC serves more than sixty 

students in its daily after-school programs. A 

Teen Health Program was established to 

modify youth behavior and reduce risky 

sexual conduct. In Pawleys Island in 2020, 

the challenges of COVID gave rise to virtual 

learning opportunities and a Community 

Garden outreach that continues to exceed 

every expectation. 

The Garden has harvested and donated 

tons of food and thousands of heads of 

lettuce from a signature hydroponic system. 

An offshoot sprouted when they started 

a school garden at Waccamaw Intermediate 

School. Then CHRSC launched the 

Foodshare Georgetown program in 

partnership with Foodshare SC and DSS. 

They strive to enhance the quality of life in 

diverse communities by increasing access to 

fresh, affordable produce. They even offer 

cooking classes!

Caring for OUR COMMUNITY 

Salty Dogs SENIOR Animal Rescue 

SaltyDogsRescue.org • (843) 823-4989 

An “old salt” is a skilled old mariner who tells stories and 

shares hard-earned wisdom. And that’s how this relatively new 

(and wonderful!) dog rescue on the Waccamaw Neck came 

to be named Salty Dogs. Founded in the spring of 2022, this 

foster-based rescue does not have a physical location. The mission 

they hold dear is providing needy animals six and older with 

a loving home environment while seeking their forever 

families, and they have made inroads into the Grand Strand 

community at quite a clip. 

The initial goal was to 

foster – and ultimately 

find homes for – just 

one or two dogs a month. 

They exceeded their 

goals quickly. 

Approaching their first 

anniversary in March, 

they reported having 

rescued nearly sixty older 

pups. Every good thing 

they do is accomplished 

by 60+ volunteers who 

gave 26,000 hours to 

the cause in the very first 

year! With no payroll or 

building costs to consider, 

more than .95¢ of every 

donated dollar goes 

directly to the care of 

the animals. That’s a stat 

that speaks volumes. 

The non-profit 

organization’s senior 

dogs come from shelters 

in several states, from 

unidentified strays the 

public reports via social media, as well as from families who 

have no option except to surrender for a variety of heartrending 

reasons – from death to owners’ age, failing health and 

physical limitations. Very often, dogs arrive sick and/or very 

passive and emotionally shut down. Essentially, the dogs 

themselves have given up hope. The sad scenarios are unending, 

but no dog can be removed from its present situation until a 

foster home is secured that matches that specific pup’s primary 

needs. This happens after every senior dog visits one of an 

alliance of helpful local veterinarians for an initial evaluation and 

to reach agreement on a “go-forward plan” for continued care. 

“It has been amazing … you can SEE the transformation as 

the animals respond to love, caring and affection,” said one of 

two founders, Laura Branchini. “In a week or two, they wag 

their tails more. Their eyes show hope, and they start truly 

interacting with their foster families. This has been our most 

treasured accomplishment.” 

Style 31 

In addition to our day-to-day rescue and dogs in foster work, 

Salty Dogs offer two programs to the public: End-of- Life 

Planning and the “Walter Senior Assistance” program. 

• Most pet owners neglect end-of-life planning as it regards 

their fur babies. As a result, beloved pets frequently end up 

with unfamiliar family members who scramble to care for a 

dog they are not suited to take on. Worse still, many orphaned 

pets land, anxious and unloved, in noisy, crowded shelters. 

Salty Dogs offers a plan 

where you can sign up to 

will your dog to us in case 

of death or incapacitation. 

All of Salty Dogs’ 

communication is 

done through social 

media and their 

website. They also 

attend adoption 

events throughout the 

year, and meet-andgreet 

visits with 

potential fosters and 

adopters are 

arranged at agreed 

upon locations. 

Daisy May has not only a new dad but also her own page to document 

her adventures. Seek out driving_missdaisy29576 on Instagram. 

• The “Walter Senior 

Assistance” program steps 

in when a qualified person 

needs support to keep their 

dog. They may receive help 

covering basic vet expenses 

– or just transportation to 

vet appointments. The 

program is named for 

Walter, Salty Dogs very 

first rescue. 

Of course, as Salty Dogs 

grows, its financial needs 

are growing, too. That means 

donations are essential, and 

discerning philanthropists 

can feel great supporting 

this cause. If you are looking 

for other ways to help, the 

organization will always be 

on the hunt for new 

volunteers to assist in a 

variety of areas from transport, to manning tables at events, 

and fostering. To learn more and see photos and stories that 

will touch your heart, or for a list of volunteer opportunities, 

please visit SaltyDogsRescue.org. Do follow Salty Dogs’ 

Facebook page, too! Prepare to fall in love with an inspired 

organization that is making a real difference in the lives of 

people and pets.

The Leading Light 

of Harriet Tubman 

In this article we are going to 

focus on one very specific and 

special exhibit visiting our 

area in 2023. A half dozen 

or more of the region’s 

guiding organizations have 

joined forces to host a 

larger-than-life sculpture of the 

famous African American abolitionist, 

humanitarian, and political activist, 

Harriet Tubman. 

(see page 36) 

Harriet Tubman, 1895 



BRINGING HARRIET HOME 

Journey to Freedom, a Monumental Event, 

is supported by a host of local organizations 

including the City of Georgetown, Brookgreen 

Gardens, Georgetown County, the Georgetown Business 

Association, the Georgetown County Chamber of 

Commerce, the Georgetown County School District, the 

Georgetown County Museum, the Georgetown County 

Library, the Gullah Geechee Chamber of Commerce, 

and the Pawleys Island Litchfield 

Business Association. 

TUBMAN was born into slavery in Maryland in the early 1820s. Despite 

suffering the horrors of slavery, Tubman managed to escape to 

freedom in Philadelphia in 1849. She went on to become one of 

the most prominent conductors of the Underground Railroad, a 

dizzying network of secret routes and safe houses that helped 

roughly 100,000 slaves escape to freedom. 

While Tubman is rightfully well-known and celebrated, few may 

realize she was personally connected to Georgetown County, 

and that connection changed the face of our seaport city and its 

surrounding areas. 

Tubman’s deep love for her family compelled her to rescue her 

own enslaved family members, as well as dozens of others. Among 

the first people Tubman helped liberate were her niece, Kessiah, and 

Kessiah’s son, James Bowley. Tubman worked long hours to see that 

Bowley received the education she had been denied. Her perseverance 

in this matter changed the course of this place we call home. 

Why? Well, after the Civil War, Bowley settled at 231 King St. in 

Georgetown where he established himself as an influential figure, far 

more than an educator, in a most tumultuous period of SC’s history. 

He married a Georgetown native, is listed as "school commissioner,” 

owned property and mingled with individuals of both races. Just 

one among many marks of success included his founding in 1873 

of a weekly Republican newspaper called The Georgetown Planet. It 

focused on politics, literature and science. His accomplishments are 

too numerous to list here. But, in short, sustained by resources 

raised by Tubman and her NY allies, Bowley multiplied educational 

opportunities for untold numbers in Georgetown County. 

“This has been a 

collaboration of city 

and county governments, 

the school district, and 

the major tourism and 

marketing organizations 

of Georgetown 

County,” said Marilyn 

Hemingway, president 

and founder of the 

Gullah Geechee 

Chamber of 

Commerce.

SC Among 

World’s Top 5 

Golf Destinations! 

Congratulations 

Hammock Coast Courses 

The International Association of Golf Tour Operators (IAGTO) has 

named SC one of the world’s top five golf destinations. The Palmetto State 

was the only American destination on the IAGTO list that included Cypress, 

Dubai, Los Cabos and Thailand. Indisputably, our own Hammock Coast – 

comprised of six coastal communities including Pawleys Island and 

Litchfield – are a driving force behind the state’s recognition. Here you will 

find fourteen courses, including twelve public layouts, that delight golfers 

from across the world. 

“SC’s Hammock Coast, with its natural beauty, world-class golf courses 

and commitment to customer service, embodies the best of the Palmetto 

State’s golf scene,” said Bob Seganti, General Manager at Caledonia and 

True Blue, both of which are ranked among the America’s Top 100 resort 

courses. “It speaks to the quality of the SC golf experience that it was the 

only American destination to earn a place among the world’s best.” 

SC’s 350 courses undergird a $29 billion tourism industry. In 2021, golf 

had an estimated $3.3 billion impact on the state’s economy – contributing 

to 38,000 jobs and $18.3 million in Admissions Tax collections. Golf generates 

more income for the state than any other single entertainment or 

recreation activity. And, visitors who play golf during their trip to the state, 

spend an additional $1.1 billion off the courses! 

For more information about all of the Hammock Coast, 

visit HammockCoastSC.com. 

This news was pulled from information provided by Chris King of Kingfish Communications for SC’s Hammock Coast. 

The IAGTO Awards are recognized as one of the most 

prestigious awards in the global golf tourism industry. 

Members of IAGTO across five continents voted for 

destinations and businesses that delivered a great 

experience for golf travelers in 2022.

St. Mary’s Chapel 

at Hagley 

Don’t miss a glimpse 

of St. Mary’s English 

stained glass windows 

above the altar and 

over the side doors of 

Prince George Winyah 

Episcopal Church on 

Broad Street in Georgetown. 

Church Meeting - Anonymous 

Georgetown County, like the entire SC Lowcountry, is blessed 

with a cache of beautiful churches. Some are small, others are large, 

many are modest, and an impressive number are masterfully 

designed. Some are reflections of pure art. Whether you live 

here or are visiting, there are congregations aplenty to find a 

place of worship that suits you. 

Sadly, though, there is one that is no more. 

In the nineteenth century, when slavery was still the order of 

the day, the owners of Hagley Plantation built a chapel in which 

their slaves could worship. Plowden C.J. Weston and his 

English-born wife, Emily, were said to be benevolent owners 

and –around 1860 – they spared no expense in creating an 

extraordinary house of worship. The chapel was named St. Mary’s 

and could allegedly seat as many as three hundred worshipers. 

One author, Mr. Rob Insley, alleged it was “quite possibly the 

most elaborate and elegant slave chapel ever constructed 

anywhere in the South.”

Broad Street, Georgetown SC 

South Door Window, Prince George Winyah Episcopal Church 


Interestingly, St. Mary’s is said to have been built by an 

enslaved master carpenter, Renty Tucker. Tucker was sent to 

England to be educated in his craft and ultimately built many 

Lowcountry homes and buildings of note. At the relatively 

young age of 26 or 27, Tucker had already achieved considerable 

acclaim as a master craftsman. Many examples of his work still 

stand and are used and admired nearly two centuries later. 

It has been reported, again by Insley, that Tucker started by 

constructing a scale model of St. Mary’s to confirm its proportions 

were correct by every measure. The Westons ordered very 

elaborate architectural and religious elements from England, the 

quality of which was largely unavailable in America at the time. 

They obtained stained glass windows, carved oak stalls and an 

English granite baptismal font quarried and carved, a gold chalice 

for Holy Communion, as well as a clock and chimes for the tower. 


Worship With Us! 

Alter Window, Prince George Winyah Episcopal Church 


Rev. Henry Bull, an All Saints Parish pastor from 1925 to 

1953, wrote that, “The chapel was cruciform in shape, had a 

high deep chancel, the transepts were deep and high.” He 

continued, “It was no mere preaching hall, but the creation of 

someone who had poured upon it good taste, reverence, and a 

love of beauty.” 

After The Civil War, St. Mary’s slowly fell into disrepair. 

Concerned about the fate of the Chapel, Weston’s cousin and 

the inheritor of the property, began to dismantle and donate 

items to other parish churches in the region. Thanks to his 

foresight, you can still see the magnificent English stained glass 

windows above the altar and over the side doors of Prince 

George Winyah Episcopal Church on Broad Street in 

Georgetown. They also accepted the gold communion chalice 

and the bell and clock from St. Mary’s church tower. Prince 

George Winyah is a magnificent church with an unrivaled history 

story of its own. It is open for tours and has a thriving church 

family. Seek them out at PGWinyah.com. 

Much of this information is sourced from a 2016 paperback 

entitled Renty's Bell. The author’s name is Robert D. Insley.

Undergoing Renovation 

As Litchfield Style heads for press, construction is 

already underway on a bigger, better Main Library Branch! 

While the library will be able to remain open for initial 

stages of construction, it will need to close for a 

undermined period of time beginning in summer. 

Some of the main branch’s collection and operations, 

including its summer reading program and children’s 

services, will move to the Howard Center at 1610 

Hawkins St, Georgetown. 

“We’ll have access to the large auditorium, so we’ll 

be able to do lots of exciting things there,” said 

Dwight McInvaill, Georgetown County Library 

Director. “It needs a lot of TLC because people have 

loved it so much over the years,” he said. “It’s really 

going to sparkle again when it’s done … Work is 

expected to take about a year.” 

The 33-year-old library opened in 1989. From sagging 

ceilings to cloudy light fixtures, decades of wear have 

started to show across every inch of the facility. 

Renovations –including a 3,120-foot expansion – will 

make it shine again. Renovations will be funded though 

$869,425 in capital sales tax dollars, $568,502 in 

American Rescue Plan Act funds and a $1.4 million 

bequest from the late Jean Flournoy Moody. Moody 

visited the library on almost a daily basis. She participated 

extensively in library programs, donated to the Friends 

of the Library and adored the library staff members. 

Her gift, received several years ago, will be spent 

largely on the expansion. 

The Georgetown County Digital Library (gcdigital.org) 

is a special treasure and sheds light on the unique and diverse 

history of this county. Researchers, educators, students, and other 

interested parties can use this FREE resource to explore the 

past via rare photos, newspapers, real estate indentures, journals 

and letters. More than 200 oral histories from area residents are 

at the heart of the vast collection. 

These days you can also find a staggering line-up 

of videos on the Library's YouTube channel. Search for 

Georgetown County Library. From mini-documentaries to coverage 

of local events, the channel continues to work at 

capturing local milestones and preserving them 

for 24/7 enjoyment. 

Investigate all there is to know on an active Facebook page 

that also provides current news to know. And know this 

is not a library from yesteryear. 

The extra space will allow for a new, large meeting 

room and administrative complex between the library’s 

current footprint and Church Street. The remainder 

of the funding will be used for refurbishment and 

reorganization of the existing 19,330-square-foot 

building. Resulting spaces will include a new digital 

video production center, an enlargement of the local 

history research room and improved storage and scanning 

areas for the Georgetown County Digital Library. 

Children and teen areas will be expanded, too.
