Stop 10: From the Confederate Oak, you’ll see a church where the over 500-year-old Evelyn Snider Oak grows. Explore the grounds of this church as several magnificent oaks grow here.

Known as the First Lady of Conway, Miss Snider taught English and History at Conway High School for more than thirty years. She also directed numerous plays and taught bible lessons. She loved canoeing in the Kingston Lake and Waccamaw River, which earned her the second title of “Lady of the Lake.” This beautiful tree is dedicated to her.
