“Venture off the beaten path to forgotten roads, where a hidden South Carolina exists. Time-travel and dead-end at a ferry that leads to wild islands. Cross a rusting steel truss bridge into a scene from the 1930s. Behold an old gristmill and imagine its creaking, clashing gears grinding corn. See an old gas pump wreathed in honeysuckle. Drive through a ghost town and wonder why it died. When’s the last time you saw a country store’s cured hams hanging from wires? How about a vintage Bull Durham tobacco ad on old brick? With vivid full-color photographs, Tom Poland explores scenic backroads that lead to heirloom tomatoes, poke salad, restaurants once gas stations, overgrown ruins and other soulful relics.”
Tom Poland’s work has appeared in magazines throughout the South. Among his recent books are Classic Carolina Road Trips from Columbia, Georgialina, A Southland, As We Knew It, and Reflections of South Carolina Vol. II. Swamp Gravy, Georgia’s Official Folk Life Drama, staged his play, Solid Ground. He writes a weekly column for newspapers and journals in Georgia and South Carolina about the South, its people, traditions, lifestyle and changing culture and speaks to groups across South Carolina and Georgia. Tom grew up in Lincoln County, Georgia and graduated from the University of Georgia. He lives in Columbia, South Carolina, where he writes about “Georgialina,” his name for eastern Georgia and South Carolina.

Traditional Cooking Demonstration
2018-10-04 11:00 - 15:00 | L.W. Paul Living History Farm, 2279 Harris Short Cut Rd, Conway, SC, 29526, United States
Experience life on the “one horse farm” in Horry County from 1900-1955 at the L.W. Paul Living History Farm. Join us on October 4th from 11:00 AM until 3:00 PM for a cooking demonstration. Grits weren’t always just for breakfast. Join us to see how this southern staple would be cooked on a wood burning stove and learn how they would be used to compliment other foods like seafood and pork.
A free, hour long, guided tour of the Farm will be available to the public at 3:00 PM following the demonstration.
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. The farm is free and open to the public and is located at the corner of Hwy 701 North and Harris Short Cut Road in Conway, SC. For more information, call the L. W.
