McClellanville, South Carolina, is a historic village known for its strong sense of community and small town way of life. In this video, we explore how the town has endured at a time when many others are either struggling or succumbing to rapid growth. Along the way, we examine the history, culture, and people that have shaped McClellanville, and ask whether this coastal town has discovered something that much of America has lost.
