"What a great place to learn some local history. I visited alone so I was accompanied by the curator. What a delightful experience... so many stories"
"I don’t live in Myrtle Beach now. But I was raise in the area (Spivey Ave etc). What wonderful memories! Neighbors took care of each other in ways you don’t see anymore:( Travel my adult life with the Marine Corp. Sometimes I think of moving back as I age."
"Was a complete pleasure and surprise to visit the museum. Mr. Matthias was a wonderful guide and gave a great tour and a picture of life during that Era. Great community connections and a must see."
"Spent a peaceful, calming morning here with the lovely Freda. She has such a wealth of knowledge about the area’s Black History. We are heading to The Rice Museum based on her recommendation and will absolutely be back here to spend more time. We purchased a cookbook and made a good donation. This is free but absolutely worth every donation given."
"Amazing museum! Plan to spend about 45 min to an hour to fully take in the history. Tour guide was fabulous and provided great history of the Colored School vision, as told from previous school attendees. Great history museum located in a separate wing, curated by a local historian. Very, very well done!!"
