THE HEART OF THE STORY

Listening to a good story is something we can all relate to. We remember stories and storytellers long after the end of the tale. Especially when the storyteller involves our imagination and relates on a level that makes the story real. 

At the Heyward House, we are rich in stories, and in storytellers. The facts and legends that weave the thread of our historic social fabric is diverse and fascinating. The people that make our Museum and Welcome Center work are passionate about what they do. Telling others about the past involves an intimate working knowledge of people, places and dates that make the stories come to life. Listening to the 45-minute House Museum Tour, which is often delivered by a volunteer Docent, transports you to a time when life was simpler, and harder in many ways. Each Docent on our team has a unique and interesting style and perspective on their presentation. You can pick up different pieces of the historical puzzle each time you tour with a different Docent. 

Come and hear the tales and wander back through time with tour guides who love what they do. You'll be transformed to a time when life along the May River was slow-paced and magical.
