Conway Attractions
Conway (pop. 12,000) is one of the oldest towns in South Carolina. It was established in 1734 and originally named Kingston. The name was changed to Conwayborough, in honor of General Robert Conway, after the Revolutionary War. The town was a busy port on the Waccamaw River with oak trees that still stand and are protected.
The Horry County Museum is located in a converted Post Office next to the Historic District of Conway. It features prehistoric artifacts, old farm tools, household implements, items from an old country store, and mercantile goods.
