APRIL 14-15: GEORGETOWN, SOUTH CAROLINA

April 14-15: After a 51 mile run, we arrived in Georgetown where we will stay for two nights.  Georgetown is the third oldest city in South Carolina.  The city leaders have a down a good job in preserving and restoring the place.  The town was once a major port exporting rice and indigo around the world.  We toured the rice museum which covers the story of the rice culture that dominated this area and took a walking tour around this pleasant town.

 Town clock is the focal point of the historic district.

 More lovely live oaks.

 A thriving main street with numerous specialty shops and restaurants.

 City Hall

 The bones of the Brown's Ferry Vessel that was discovered near Georgetown.  It is the oldest vessel of colonial manufacture in the US that has been recovered.
