The marsh is characteristically majestic. The businesses aren't much. It's always nice to get a bit of that fresh sea air, but compared to, say, the similar Shem Creek boardwalk in the Charleston suburbs, this one is nothing to write home about. Parking was a tad confusing but out on the street appeared to be free. I'm sure that eating on the water is nice, but food options are better elsewhere in my experience.

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.

This railway station has not been in public service since the 1950's I was told but the building still stands and on the nearby rails stand both a decommissioned box car and caboose. Neither of these is open for public exploration inside but the train depot building itself is. Inside the small facility are numerous photographs from across the stations history and a few related relics. There is a time capsule as well which was sealed in May of 2004 and is set to be opened in May of 2054. In the rear of the station which probably originally served as the waiting room area and some office space is a publicly accessible room but I did not go into it as there was a family function happening at the time. My guess is that they rent this room out and let people bring in catered fare. You can stand on the place where the platform used to let passengers on and off but mind your step and the same can be said for the tracks. The two cars can be posed in front of by I discourage climbing on them as all for the sake of your own safety. I was glad we chanced upon this since the photos will make for good blogging and Instagram material.

The Socastee Swing Bridge, completed in 1936, is a rare Warren through-truss swing-span bridge…read moredesigned by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. It is a living artifact of coastal development and the Great Depression. Architecturally, the bridge is a swing-span Warren through-truss structure with rigid joints, measuring 217 feet long and 24 feet wide. Its truss design features alternating diagonal members that distribute loads efficiently, while the swing mechanism allows the entire span to pivot horizontally, enabling boats to pass through the Intracoastal Waterway. Originally, the bridge was turned manually by a gatekeeper who lived in the operator's house atop the bridge. It remains one of the few intact examples of early 20th-century swing bridges in South Carolina. Its presence helped transform Socastee from a post-Civil War turpentine and river-trade hub into a connected community with access to Myrtle Beach and Conway. I lucked out this morning and arrived as the bridge was opening to allow a boat to pass. Very cool to watch the bridge slowly turn back and lock with the road afterwards to allow passenger traffic to pass. Major geek moment for me to watch the mechanics, the timing, the quiet choreography of it all. I witnessed a living piece of infrastructure history. There is a small watersports business on the south side of the river. I probably trespassed just a little to watch from their boat launch (but not the dock!) Sorry!
