The Third Oldest City in South Carolina

Georgetown's main street and its pretty house facades


The city watch tower of Georgetown, SC


What an inviting porch to the County Museum of Georgetown!




The third oldest city in South Carolina, following Charleston and Beaufort, Georgetown was founded in 1729 and became an official port of entry in 1732. Prior to this, all foreign exports and imports had to pass through Charleston. Duties and the added freight had to be paid there. With the designation of Georgetown as a port of entry, the area's merchants and planters could deal directly with all ports, bypassing Charleston.

A day off - involuntary


Come have a cup of coffee with me, let's have a talk!

I had some problems yesterday with blogger and posting. My friends who know that I'm posting every single day, if I can, were probably missing something. If not, it's o.k. too! I can have a day off....right? :-)
