The Horry County Museum and the AVX Foundation present a program by local author and historian Christopher Boyle on Saturday, September 28th, on his book Mansfield Plantation: A Legacy on the Black River.
“Mansfield Plantation was the ancestral home of the Man-Taylor-Lance-Parker family for over one hundred and fifty years. A hundred years after being sold out of the family’s possession, John and Sallie Middleton Parker have returned the property to the family bloodline. The new owners have gone to extraordinary measures to restore, preserve and share their family treasure. The estate has several concurrently running projects which are designed to preserve Mansfield for future generations to explore, research and appreciate. As history fades, and historical landmarks disappear, Mansfield will remain as she has for nearly three centuries; an approachable yet elegant reminder of South Carolina’s plantation heritage.”
Christopher C. Boyle is a full-time social studies teacher at Socastee High School in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, and a part-time teaching associate at Coastal Carolina University in Conway. Upon graduation from Coastal Carolina University with his bachelor’s degree in history, he further studied history at Winthrop University where he graduated in 1996 with his Master of Arts degree in American history. Boyle is the author of Mansfield Plantation: A Legacy on the Black River and The Road to Secession in Antebellum Georgetown & Horry Districts.

Quilts of Valor Presentation
2019-10-26 13:00 | Horry County Museum, 805 Main Street, Conway, SC, 29526, United States
The public is invited to view a special Quilts of Valor display and presentation at the Horry County Museum. Quilts made especially for 19 local veterans will be on display at the Museum October 8th through the 25th. A presentation of the quilts to veterans will take place October 26th in the Museum’s auditorium at 1:00 pm at 805 Main Street, Conway, SC 29526.
The mission of the Quilts of Valor Foundation (QOVF) is to cover all service members and veterans, touched by war, with a comforting and healing quilt. In 2003, Catherine Roberts, the founder of the QOVF, had a son deployed to Iraq. She struggled with how to stay busy and keep her mind busy while he was in harm’s way. One night, she had a dream where she saw a man sitting on the side of a bed, shaking. In her dream, a quilt was placed around his shoulders and he seemed to be comforted. As a nurse and quilter, Roberts then decided she would make and send quilts to Kandahar. Each stretcher that had a wounded veteran got a red, white and blue quilt placed on their stretcher. After six years, the foundation decided to award a quilt to any veteran who served during wartime era, from WWII to present. Since 2003, the foundation, now a national organization, has awarded 216,471 quilts.

Most farms in Horry County grew a patch of sugar cane that would be ready to harvest in early November. After the cane was harvested, it was taken to the community cane mill and eventually cooked down to make syrup. This provided a sweet addition to food without much cost involved other than the farmer’s labor. At this month’s demonstration, visitors will be able to learn about how sugar cane is harvested and have a chance to chew a piece of fresh cut cane.
The L. W. Paul Living History Farm is open Tuesday-Saturday 9 AM-4 PM and teaches the history of the Horry County farm family.
