Immaculate trolley - outstanding tour guide who was extremely knowledgeable. Very detailed and interesting military historical tour of Myrtle Beach - as well as wonderful trip to Black museum which was a bonus! Humbling to learn the black educational history of Myrtle Beach area, taking place in the original one room school house that was used for many years.

Learning about German pow camp. Visit to the colored school. I found it interesting that the first issue of sports illustrated was printed in myrtle beach and cost 25 cents.

The marketing conference to launch Sports Illustrated months before it hit the newsstands was held in Myrtle Beach and that is why you were able to see original documents associated with it. I'm glad you found that history interesting.
