Located on the coast, 33 miles north of Charleston, the historic town of McClellanville was an sleepy fishing village and retreat for Georgetown and Santee River rice planters in the 19th century. The McClellanville Historic District is composed of historic homes, churches and commercial properties that date from the late 19th and early 20th century.

Although severely damaged by Hurricane Hugo in 1989, McClellanville's residents rebuilt their village and continue to preserve their local history. The McClellanville Historic District includes the town waterfront, noted for its numerous commercial fishing boats, and its giant live oaks, many of which have survived centuries of time and storms. The Village Museum maintains a variety of historical displays, exhibits and artifacts from McClellanville's unique and colorful maritime history.
