Believed to be the oldest surviving home within Myrtle Beach’s city limits, Swash Manor stands on a rise above Withers Swash, formerly Eight Mile Swash. Its story reaches from Indigenous material beneath the property through the Todd and Collins families and into the life of modern Myrtle Beach.

This is not a museum frozen in one period. It is a private home, an evolving native garden, a place of archaeological research and discovery, and a record of the lives—human and otherwise—that meet here.
