Myrtle Beach Colored School Museum and Education Center — Attraction in Myrtle Beach

Love the experience and education I got while I was here. I got to touch Mr.Joe Whites actual bike. So much was different back then and they do a great job of taking you back. I say they but the guide, darn I forget his name but he is meant to guide there. He tells stories and is personally connected to the history of the school and town deeply. He should be paid separately just for coming!

The facility is great but I am still not understanding why it couldnt be recreated where it actually stood. Id love to see endless photos of what used to be and ANY photos from the community inside the school.

Facility is clean and well laid. Not too much walking and great for elder or someone who wants to have an experience without too much walking. Just bring your listening skills.

ITS FREE

but so is consideration and grace so leave a donation of the suggested $10, and use the golden rule to go above and beyond and buy a souvenir as well.

Get some of the cookbook its not a good look to have a hole of one of the only items for sale.

As a civic worker, I will be reocmmending this experience alot more to my guests and clients.

Cheers Myrtle Beach

P.S. to the community, Stop coming in there ten minutes before closing as hes giving live tours and will have to interrupt the tour to let you in the door. Even though a slight inconvenience he STILL turns around and starts the tour over for anyone who has...

A Hidden Gem of History, Empowerment, and Inspiration in Myrtle Beach!

Visiting the Historic Myrtle Beach Colored School Museum and Education Center was nothing short of powerful. This place may be small in size, but the legacy it holds is massive. The moment you step inside, you feel the weight and pride of a community that built, learned, and thrived against all odds.

The tour itself is short but incredibly thorough, a perfect snapshot of local history that’s deeply moving and enlightening. Every corner of this museum is infused with tenacity, dignity, and resilience. It tells the story of Black students and educators in Myrtle Beach who demanded not only access to education, but excellence in it and ALL through it. The photos, documents, and personal artifacts pull you in and remind you of the power of representation and the importance of preserving these stories.

This museum is not just about the past, which is rich and amazing and convoluted and beautiful but it’s a beacon of empowerment for the present and future. It honors those who laid the foundation and uplifts every visitor with a renewed sense of pride and purpose.

If you’re anywhere near Myrtle Beach, don’t miss this treasure. It’s a testament to courage, culture, and community, a real living reminder that history isn’t just something we read about, it’s something we stand on! Talk about standing on Business! This is a...

I visited the Myrtle Beach Colored School Museum. I thought the museum was quite enjoyable . It is a small museum but it is packed with a lot of information. It takes 45 min to a hour to tour the facility. Features that impressed me about the museum was the rarely known facts about local successful African American businessmen in the community, the section that highlighted African American inventors (i.e. the dustpan, etc.), and they provide a simple, yet visually effective exhibit of the civil rights movement (highlighting SC involvement as well). Finally, the museum sells a cookbook with some yummy, old fashion southern cooking ( i.e. sour cream pound cake and Brunswick stew) for a reasonable price.
