Galivants Ferry Historic District
Galivants Ferry Historic District, Historic district in Horry County, South Carolina, US
The historic district encompasses 28 buildings including tenant houses, storage barns, tobacco packhouses, and curing barns across 750 acres of land.
Richard Gallevan established ferry rights at Elirsee's Landing on the Little Pee Dee River in 1792, creating a vital crossing point to Conwayborough.
The Galivants Ferry Stump Meeting, initiated in 1880 when Joseph Holliday invited local candidates to speak, continues as a Democratic Party tradition.
The district intersects with US Highway 501, Pee Dee Road, and Galivants Ferry Road, featuring interpretive signs that explain the historical context.
The John Monroe Johnson Holliday House, completed in 1950, replaced an earlier structure from 1920 that burned in 1943.
