Once one of the largest producers of tobacco, the people of Horry County have developed a unique lifestyle around growing this leafy green crop. The cultivation of tobacco has been an important player in the development of Horry County history. Our Showcase exhibit this month will be Tobacco Cultivation in Horry County.
