Historical Note

The South Carolina Hall of Fame was dedicated on February 11, 1973 by Governor John C. West.

The Hall of Fame is a nonprofit corporation conducted under a state charter. It is located in the Myrtle Beach Convention Center, Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. On September 21, 2001, Governor Jim Hodges signed into law a bill designating the South Carolina Hall of Fame as the state’s official hall of fame.
