Horry County Museum Reopens in Historic Burroughs School: A Must-See Local Treasure

The eagerly anticipated reopening of the Horry County Museum in its new home at the former Burroughs School building in Conway has arrived—and it delivers an exceptional experience.

Step inside and be captivated by the stunning custom-built winding staircase leading to the second floor, a feature designed exclusively for this location.

Museum Director Walter Hill shares, "We wanted to make every part of the museum an exhibit." This architectural highlight perfectly embodies that vision.

The exhibits brilliantly showcase Horry County's and Myrtle Beach area's unique history. Highlights include a tribute wall to local World War I and II veterans, a fascinating display of South Carolina coastal seashells, and a silver platter recovered from Adolf Hitler's dining table by a soldier from Wampee—linking the Grand Strand to world events.

Visit this gem in Conway today. Hours: Tuesday–Saturday, 9 a.m.–5 p.m. (closed government holidays).
