Historic Horry County

Bucks Mill Chimneys

This brick chimney is the remains of a sawmill at the Upper Mill, Bucksville Community, near the Henry Buck home build in 1828. The famous seagoing schooner "Henrietta", built in 1875 at the Middle Mill, Bucksville, by the W.L. Buck & Co., was floated down the river to the sea. The schooner was lost in a typhoon off the coast of Japan in 1894. The Lower Mill, a thriving vibrant center of commerce and trade in Horry County along the Waccamaw River during the late 1800s, became Bucksport. The Bucks had come south from Maine.

Located at Bucksport Community, 3 miles from Highway 701, on Old Bucksville Road, beside the Waccamaw River, where, at low tide, ballast stones and pilings can be seen.
