Conway,
South Carolina
(a
QuaintVillage)
|
The southeastern
United States is proud of its live oak trees (quercus virginiana), and perhaps no place is prouder than Conway. Many live oak trees here have
names. Plaques, a brochure, and a map are provided to help you find them. But,
Conway has more to offer the visitor than great trees. The scenic and
historic downtown shopping area has a mix of shops for tourists and local
folks. You will find many historic structures and a nice riverfront
park. If you are planning a Myrtle Beach vacation, plan to include a
visit to Conway. |

Did
you know?
When
you place an
order from these
merchants, they
contribute a small
commission to QuaintPlaces.com. These
commissions
do not increase
the cost of your
purchases. Only
purchases
made within a few
days
after
your
initial "click" to
their sites generate
commissions for us.
(Please do not delete your cookies.)
These
commissions, plus sales of our
own photos and cards, are
necessary
to help defray the
cost of maintaining QuaintPlaces.com,
which currently
operates at a loss.
Your

help us provide
more
information
and photos about
quaint places.
