Experience life on the “one horse farm” in Horry County from 1900-1955 at the L.W. Paul Living History Farm. Join us on February 2nd from 9:30 AM until 10:30 AM for Farm Harvest Day. Before the days of oil and electricity, most small farm houses were heated by burning wood. Cutting wood was as important as harvesting any other crop that was grown on the farm. Join us to try your hand at sawing wood and see how it was sawn into blocks using a cross cut saw.

The Horry County Museum and The AVX Foundation present a lecture by Donald Kirkpatrick at 1:00 PM on March 2nd on vertebrate fossils of the Upper Cretaceous (Age of Dinosaurs) Period in the Pee Dee. Featuring fossils from his own collection, Mr. Kirkpatrick will discuss what areas he looks for fossils in, and the types that can be found in the Pee Dee. The public is invited to bring fossils from their personal collections, share stories of where they found their items and discuss what they may have.
