The Boundary House

The Boundary House is located in Calabash, North Carolina, behind Callahan’s Gift Shop. The Boundary House has quite an amazing history, and the story lives on in the restaurant today. The original “Boundary House” was built by 24 gentlemen as a place of rendezvous for travelers before 1750 on the state line between North and South Carolina. As time continued, the Boundary House stood through the Revolutionary War, and there was even a dual there in 1804. There was a time before the Civil War that the Boundary House didn’t exist. Still, surveyors used an old confederate war map showing the “Boundary House Chimney” when they re-ran the state line in 1928 and found the location of The Boundary House to prove the location of the state line they knew it ran through the center of the building.
