Harry County Museum was recommended to us by the host at the visitor center. We had a fun time viewing the different exhibits at this quaint museum. They even had homemade quilts that we had an opportunity to vote on. They also have a huge fish tank in the front lobby built the the guys on the show “Tanked”.

Housed in historic Conway, the Horry County Museum is a wealth of information about the area.....a real tourist treasure for anyone tired of the beach, etc and is interested in the history of the area.
The Museum has a staff of volunteers and employees who are very knowledgeable about the area and it's history.. It offers films, lectures, and other activities for those j just visiting or for those of us who are blessed to live here...
Welcome to Horry County, SC y'all!
Enjoy....also a great rainy day activity. Be sure to visit the Gift Shop and sign the visitors register. PS: Conway offers a nice variety of restaurants for every taster and budget as well as a beautiful, walkable waterfront.

This was a wonderful museum. There was no charge, but we were happy to give a donation. We went here because the children with us needed an educational experience since they were on vacation away from school. There were many many interesting things to look at and to read. There were two floors and it was spread out so that no area felt crowded. It was clean and the staff were kind and friendly. We were not local, but in my opinion, this museum is a MUST for anyone living in the area of Horry County. We would recommend it as a place to go for people who enjoy museums.

My wife/I were visiting Conway and found this museum. The admission was free but contributions are appreciated.
What's so fascinating about this museum is that it's housed in the old Conway High School.
The exhibits are many and cross all walks of cultures. We were totally entertained by all of the exhibits that provided a close-up look on the history of Horrey County and it's communities.
This is a must see when visiting Conway, SC. We will return on our next visit.

Staying in Conway for 5 days have me planty of time to explore. I did the mieum on the last day and am glad i didn't miss it. I spent 2 hours going through the 2 floors. The museum is laid out in an old school building and each room has a theme. The museum covers conway and south carolina history. I tend to read all or alot of the signage so you can probably do it in less time. There was a lot of audio buttons you could press and hear info also. Best thing museum is free! Donations ate accepted
Well worth the time

Wonderful local museum. Plenty of exhibits and they strive to make sure everything is local. Beautiful seasonal quilt exhibit. Even the building it resides in is historical. Definitely a must see

We were very surprised at the amount of things they had on display. Not only the history of Horry County and Conway but of the various wars as well as nature. They also have a small aquarium. Staff are very friendly.

The horry county museum is located in the 100+ year old renovated Burroughs school. There are permanent exhibits as well as revolving exhibits. An auditorium where the public is invited to watch movies or films on the county's history airs every Wednesday. Rain or shine the climate controlled beautiful museum is worth a visit. Plan to spend 1-2 hours.

Have been to the Horry County Museum twice since moving here 6 months ago. Had a great time both times. Great exhibits on the history of this area. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Take your time read all the exhibits, some of which change from time to time so, well worth a second visit. Can't beat the admission price....Free! But, if you enjoy your visit there, please leave a donation on your way out.
