The Horry County Museum will premiere the first film of the South Carolina Hall of Fame Film Series, produced by South Carolina ETV, at the McCown Auditorium on Saturday, January 7th at 4:00 PM.
Established in 1973, The South Carolina Hall of Fame, located in Myrtle Beach, inducts one deceased and one contemporary honoree each year. It is by law the “official” Hall of Fame for South Carolina. There are nearly 100 members of the South Carolina Hall of Fame, each of whom has made outstanding contributions to South Carolina’s heritage, history, and progress.
Over the past several years, South Carolina ETV has produced short video profiles of all South Carolina Hall of Fame inductees and made them available for online viewing, and as a teaching resource. South Carolina museums are now being offered these films in whatever grouping or format they choose to be shown for public screenings as part of the South Carolina Hall of Fame Film Series.
The film series will begin at the Horry County Museum with an introduction by Rodger Stroup, followed by a screening of profiles of inductees from the Colonial period.
The Horry County Museum is located at 805 Main Street, Conway, SC. This program 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.
