Join us Saturday, April 27th, for a free 30 minute activity at the Farm! Parents can sign children up for a half hour session between 9 AM-11 AM. Group sizes will be limited. In this session, children will learn about local insects, including honey bees. They’ll also get to sample different types of honey and see how the variety of plants that bees pollinate can change the honey that they make.

For information about available times and to register, contact Marian Calder at 843-915-7861 or email calder.marian@horrycountysc.gov . Available sessions are 9, 9:30, 10 or 10:30, please specify which session you would like upon registering.

The L.W. Paul Living History Farm is open Tuesday through Saturday, 9 AM-4 PM and is located at 2279 Harris Short Cut Road, Conway, SC 29526.

Join Ben Burroughs, the Director of the Horry County Archives Center at Coastal Carolina University, on Saturday, April 27th, as he speaks on some of the Revolutionary War events that took place within the borders of what is now Horry County.

After the program, there will be a 5 minute break and then the Spring Business Meeting for the Horry County Historical Society membership will take place. Members of the HCHS are encouraged to stay and guests are welcome.
Ben is the director of the Horry County Archives Center, established at Coastal Carolina University by the Horry County Higher Education Commission in 2006. The center focuses on researching the history of Horry County and surrounding counties, including the history of Coastal Carolina University. The center works with local history-minded groups to find significant historical material, preserve it and make it accessible to the public via digitization.
The program will begin at 1:00 pm in the McCown Auditorium located at 805 Main Street, Conway S.C. This event is free and open to the public. For more information, call 843-915-5320 or email hcgmuseum@horrycounty.org. To view a full list of programs, visit our website at www.horrycountymuseum.org.
