We love historic tours, so on our vacation to Myrtle Beach we decided to drive an hour south and take in Georgetown. The volunteers at the Kaminski House were all very pleasant and knowledgeable. The house itself has an interesting history and lots of fascinating furnishings. The house itself has a lengthy and very interesting history, which our docent covered, but I give them a lot of credit for maintaining the house to reflect the final private owners, the Kaminskis. When we visited several years ago, the tour included a brief trip next door to the adjacent 1740 home. Apparently, that property can now be rented for private events. The fact that the tour now focuses on the Kaminski House actually makes for a much better tour.

We toured the Kaminski House Museum on 4/5/2024 at 1:00 pm and we were the only two on the tour. Our guide was very knowledgeable about the home and the area. It is being carefully restored and it was fun to see all the original furniture, art, books etc. They have a senior discount so it was $10.00 for my husband and $13.00 for us to take the tour. They rent the front grounds out for weddings and events. The home sits off of the river so you can walk along the harbor before or after you take your tour.

We had the pleasure of a "private tour" of this fabulous national treasure and I would encourage anyone visiting Georgetown, SC, to take the time to schedule one of the tours. The tour host just happened to be from a town we used to live in and that made it a bit more personal for us. He was so knowledgeable about the history of the this home and the family who lived there. It's as if the family were still living there and they just were out for a while. Evidently, Mrs. Kaminski wanted nothing to be taken out of this home nor added upon her death and her wishes have been met. We learned about the original size of the historic home and then how it was enlarged to meet the requirements of the Kaminskis. Fascinating stories.
