The Shaw House Bed & Breakfast... is an early Colonial American home with six
columns on the front porch.
Nestled on a grassy knoll, among the pine trees, the Inn overlooks miles of marsh lands and pre-Civil War rice fields.
|
The Shaw House is located 32 miles south of Myrtle Beach and 55 miles north of Charleston
on Highway U.S. 17.
- History of Georgetown
- Europeans first settled in what is now Georgetown County in 1526 when a band
of hearty Spaniards established an ill-fated settlement near Winyah Bay and the
Atlantic Ocean. It was not until amost two centuries later that colonists from
Northern Europe began arriving and established settlements that flourished.
Thus Georgetown County today traces its roots from these early Englishmen,
Scots, French Huguenots, Germans and other immigrants. Many of their creations
in homes, places of culture and worship still exist, and can be seen today.
