History Of Myrtle Beach Part 2
Part Two of Four
Touring some Southern historical sites before they're gone
Sometimes it's nice to just jump in the car and head in one direction with no plans. Dad and I headed East and ended up in Myrtle Beach.
On the way we stopped off at some Revolutionary and Civil War sites and memorials in N and S Carolina. Due to the possibility some of these will be removed because of their link to the Confederate Army we thought we'd better take the time to see these important sites in our countries history.
The South Carolina Midlands
The Midlands is sandwiched between the mountains to the north and the beaches to the south. The area offers great fun for the kids with the Riverbanks Zoo, EdVenture Children's Museum and state parks. The Midlands is also steeped in history.
