Vereen Memorial Gardens
Vereen Memorial Gardens is a Former Plantation Owned by the Vereen Family & Donated to Horry County! The Plantation dates back to the Revolutionary War! The Family Cemetery is still preserved there, including the grave of Joshua Vereen.
Joshua Vereen actually entertained President George Washington when he visited the area immediately after the war & his entourage came down King’s Road. According to Horry County Historian, Ben Burrows…King’s Road, then a dirt road on the grounds of Vereen Gardens, was an important highway because of all of the traffic between the Northern and Southern Colonies. If they were coming by land, they would have come down this road.
