Pat Conroy is my favorite author. It was a joy to visit the center. The two ladies who were hosts were absolutely wonderful. One being Pat’s sister and the second a retired FBI agent turned author.

Small museum/literary center but a must if you are a Pat Conroy fan. The docents will give you a rather informative walkthrough of the center. Lots of photos and memorabilia from Pat and his family. Book store is well stocked with all of Pat's books and many other items.

We arrived 15 minutes before closing on Veterans Day, November 11th. We were met with the most friendly and gracious staff member who proceeded to give us a very enlightening tour of the center. We loved learning about Anthony Johnson, the mixed media artist and we will be following him in the future.

My husband I visited the Pat Conroy Literary Center in November and we loved it! It is not only a moving tribute to Pat Conroy, but it is also a place to celebrate literature and the freedom to read. I would heartily recommend it.

We knew we couldn't leave Beaufort without visiting this museum. It exceeded our expectations. There were all kinds of letters and mementos from Pat Conroy's life and his writing career. We attended an author lecture, and I even (a bonus!) got some great tips for promoting my own book. We gained more insight about the man and his craft.

The Pat Conroy Library Center is interesting, unusual and informative on many levels. We stopped there partly because my dad, Steve Becker (also a novelist) had always spoken so highly of Pat Conroy. to see his books, his life and his experience teaching in the island communities was absolutely fascinating.

The Pat Conroy Literary Center is a treasure in Beaufort. The Center has so much information and photos from Conroy’s life. The Director, Jonathan Haupt, was wonderful in sharing special stories and insights.

This trip was my second but the first for the others in our group, including my husband who had read none of Pat's books. The story of Pat's work was especially inspiring especially his commitment to mentoring students and aspiring writers. We were not hurried and had ample time to view the exhibits. I purchased one of his books, My Reading Life, and found it filled with meaningful reflections to which as a retired teacher I could relate. The Conroy Center is now on my list of places to suggest to people who visit the Lowcountry.

I have loved Pat Conroy’s books for decades and I was lucky enough to visit. They have done a fantastic job to honor such a legend. The Center is absolutely beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing his life with his fans.

The materials are fascinating and really tell Conroy's story. What made it special was Kathy's generous, charming, funny elucidation of the various pieces. By the end we felt like friends invited right into the Conroy home.
