Junior Curators continues at the Horry County Museum on Saturday, December 29th from 9 AM-10 AM. This free, family friendly, program is open to children ages 5 and older and will teach children the history and natural history of Horry County through hands on activities. In this session, children will learn about the types of fossils that could be found in Horry County and participate in a “dig” to see what fossils they can find! Adults must remain with children. To participate, pre-register with Marion Haynes at haynesm@horrycounty.org or call 843-915-7861.

Experience life on the one horse family farm in Horry County from 1900-1955 at the L.W. Paul Living History Farm. Join us for Sawmill Saturday from 9:30 AM-11:30 AM on December 29th to see the sawmill in operation. There were, and still are, a lot of trees being grown in Horry County for timber production. In the early twentieth century, most communities had a sawmill in the area to get the trees from their forest turned into boards. Farm staff and designated volunteers will operate the sawmill at the farm and Wayne will discuss the type of engines that would have powered these mills.
