The Horry County Museum was one of the highlights of my day trip to Conway when visiting the Myrtle Beach area. Built in a former school, it's a treasure trove of local county history, complete with pictures and artifacts. Being a free museum, I went in with low expectations thinking I'd be in and out within 15 minutes, but spent quite a bit of time appreciating everything they have on display over the 2 floors of exhibits. I don't like niche museums that hit you with history overload, but Horry County Museum does their displays just right where you can walk through at your own pace, spending a little more time on those that catch your eye and interest you. The only thing which I felt was a little out of place was the aquarium type set up with fish they had by the spiral staircase leading up to the 2nd floor. While not a world class museum, I felt it was perfect for a small town like Conway, and I recommend a visit if you're in the area and have some free time. It's a perfect rainy day activity to consider if you like museums and are visiting Myrtle Beach. read more
