Georgetown’s Deep Roots: Rice, Real Estate, and Resilience with Kevin Jayroe

Join host Scott Richards at the South Carolina Maritime Museum for a deep dive into the past, present, and future of Georgetown, SC. In this episode, Scott sits down with Kevin Jayroe, owner of Swamp Fox Tours and a local whose family roots stretch back to the 1740s. Living in a historic 1739 period home, Kevin shares his unique perspective as both a preservation-focused real estate expert and owner of Swamp Fox Tours. The duo explores the massive scale of 18th-century rice production, noting that the original field lines are still visible from space—a testament to a labor-intensive process that took up to 15 years to develop a single field. The conversation also highlights Georgetown’s modern-day renaissance. From the impact of the boutique hotel, The George, to the surge in day-trip shopping and a thriving real estate market, Georgetown is evolving while maintaining its historic integrity. Finally, they discuss the written records of one of the earliest European settlements in the U.S. which was in Georgetown, and the search for buildings from the settlement, and the unique social intermingling that defined the town in the 1930s and 40s.
