It shares Myrtle Beach's origin story and tells what it was like to live there during WWII with U-boat threats off the coast and the arrival of German POWs. It makes stops at Myrtle Beach's first golf course, Pine Lakes International Country Club, and the Historic Myrtle Beach Colored School Museum.

This tour was fantastic but more so because of Katherine Hedgpath, the tour guide. She made it extremely interesting and worthwhile. Hearing the information gives you a better understanding and perspective of how things were. The two stops were interesting but I thoroughly enjoyed the stop at the new location of the Myrtle Beach Colored School and Museum. Definitely a most return spot to appreciate it all. I readily suggest this tour for anyone who is interested in history. Great job Katherine and thanks Tom for the great ride! Hope to see you on the next tour.

We really enjoyed this trolley guided tour. The lady sharing the history information was very polite and very knowledgeable. She kept it interesting and was animated in the way she relayed info to us. We made two stops where we get off the trolley & explored the stops we were at which were very interesting. I would highly recommend this for anyone to experience.
