The Horry County Museum Quilt Gala has become a fixture on the Grand Strand. Started in 1994, the first Gala was held on the lawn of the Horry County Courthouse. Over the years the Gala has continued to grow and is now held at the Ocean Lakes Family Campground Recreation Center in Myrtle Beach.
Junior Curators continues at the Horry County Museum on Saturday, February 23rd 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 Gullah history and how rag quilts were made from cloth strips. Participants will make a small token in the same style that they can take home. Parents must remain with children. To participate, sign up with Marion Haynes at haynesm@horrycounty.org or call 843-915-7861.
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 23rd from 9:00 AM until 11:30 AM to learn about the different animals on the farm and their various roles.
