The 2023 Horry County Museum Documentary Film Series continues with the SCETV film The Education of Harvey Gantt.
South Carolina fought the desegregation of its schools longer than any other state, even after the passage of Brown v. Board of Education in 1954. But a determined effort to enforce Brown, spearheaded by the NAACP, prevailed, and in January 1963 the Fourth Circuit Court ordered Clemson College to admit Harvey Gantt, a young African-American man from Charleston.
The film is free to the public and will be shown at 1:00 PM, Wednesday, February 1st, at the Horry County Museum, located at 805 Main Street in Conway.

Carin Bloom: Not the Most Unhappy of All Creation
2023-02-04 13:00 | Horry County Museum, 805 Main Street, Conway, SC, 29526, United States
The Horry County Museum presents a first person historical interpretation on Catherine Greene by Carin Bloom on February 4th at 1 PM. Towards the end of the American War for Independence, Catharine Littlefield Greene takes one more trip to accompany her husband to the front lines of war. Destined for the Continental Army’s camp above the Ashley River, just outside Charleston, Caty makes her way South with one of Nathanael Greene’s letters to her in hand. She had always thought of the war as an exciting adventure, a time of great peril and separation, but also of opportunity and education. She knows her place and her duties as a mother and as an officer’s wife, and she has been known to push the envelope on what is considered “socially acceptable” public behavior. As the war drags on, Catharine grows older, and wiser. Still, despite his best efforts to forewarn her, Nathanael is unsuccessful in preparing his wife for the desolation and destruction she will see – the worst yet – as the war comes to its conclusion. The year is 1782, Caty is headed to an exhausted, sick army encampment with a new wardrobe and a military escort – and she’s worried about exactly what she will find…
Carin Bloom is the Manager of Education and Programming at Historic Charleston Foundation in Charleston, SC. Carin holds an Honors BA, two MAs, and a PhD ABD in Anthropology, all with specializations in Historical Archaeology (specifically Fields of Conflict of the American Revolution). She is an archaeologist and living historian by training, specializing in the public history of the 18th century in America. Carin focuses on lesser-known historical figures; those whose stories have not yet been told extensively still made important contributions. To that end, Carin presents as Catharine Littlefield Greene, wife of General Nathanael Greene of the United States Army. Caty’s story inserts much-needed women’s history into the story of the American War for Independence, as well as brings to light some of the harsh realities of the conflict that are often left out in favor of the triumph and tragedy of great battles won and lost. Carin is delighted to bring humor, sorrow, and inquisitiveness to her presentation, in her interpretation of what Lady Greene might share with an audience, were she alive today.
The program will be held in the Museum’s McCown Auditorium located at 805 Main Street, Conway, SC 29526. For more information, call 843-915-5320 or email hcgmuseum@horrycountysc.gov. For more information about programs for 2023, visit the museum website at www.horrycountymuseum.org.

The 2023 Horry County Museum Documentary Film Series continues with the SCETV film Juke Joints and Honky Tonk Legends.
Their “Gaillard Auditoriums” are large, non-descript rooms with wooden tables, metal chairs, and a bar. Their “Bi-Lo Center ushers and doormen” are friends and family who double as roadies. Yet, for the love of the music, the performers and fans leave their 9 to 5 jobs to venture down the back roads of small southern communities to remote watering holes for down home blues, country and western, and bluegrass entertainment. This film is an excursion into a larger than life culture with roots that trace back to traditional African and folk music. It explores this nonconformist genre and the people who seek to preserve it.
The film is free to the public and will be shown at 1:00 PM, Wednesday, February 8th, at the Horry County Museum, located at 805 Main Street in Conway.

Uncommon Folk
2023-02-15 13:00 | Horry County Museum, 805 Main Street, Conway, SC, 29526, United States
The 2023 Horry County Museum Documentary Film Series continues with the SCETV film Uncommon Folk.
There are some artists that fall outside of the definition of fine art. Sometimes referred to as folk, outsider, visionary or memory artists, most are driven to create something that has a special meaning to them. Some use objects from their own backyard, or illustrate personal visions or cultural history, while others use art to cope with life. Some are celebrated locally, while the work of others goes unseen until their deaths. One thing they have in common is that they are destined to leave their impression on this world through their work. This film takes a look at some of South Carolina’s unique self-taught artists including Maxi McConnell Eades, Reverend Johnnie Simmons, L.C. Carson, Sam Doyle, Ernest Lee, and Margaret Robbins.
The film is free to the public and will be shown at 1:00 PM, Wednesday, February 15th, at the Horry County Museum, located at 805 Main Street in Conway.

She has currently finished 97 quilts ranging in size from baby to king, with all but 2 being quilted by hand. Many quilts have been kept or gifted to friends and family, while some have won ribbons at shows. Messier is currently working on 6 different quilts.

To Finish or Not To Finish…That is the Question
2023-03-14 11:00 | Horry County Museum, 805 Main Street, Conway, SC, 29526, United States
Have you wondered what to do with the odd, orphan blocks you have collected or been given as family heirlooms? Do you have vintage or antique quilt tops that you just don’t know what to do with? How should these collectibles be finished? Or should they even be finished? Brenda Grampsas, American Quilter’s Society Certified Quilt Appraiser will be giving tips on March 14th at 11 AM at the Horry County Museum on what to do with these collectibles. She will also show quilts she has made from such blocks and quilt tops.
Brenda has a lifetime of sewing and quilting experience with a passion for all things quilted. Her experience in teaching the “how to” of quilting extends not only to adults but many years of quilting classes with children and teens. Watching others catch the “quilt bug” through her shared trunk shows, lectures and workshops feeds the natural teacher in her. She is inspired by quilts from many eras and is especially fascinated by scrap quilts because of their wide range of fabrics. Brenda is very involved in the restoration of quilts. Teaching others the art of restoration has become advantageous due to the many requests for restoration service. More information can be found on Brenda’s website www.thimbletales.com.

The History of the American Sewing Machine
2023-03-17 11:00 | Horry County Museum, 805 Main Street, Conway, SC, 29526, United States
We’re celebrating textiles throughout March at the Horry County Museum! Join us March 17th at 11 AM as Sharon Huffstetler shares the history of the American sewing machine. In this lecture, and hands on experience, Sharon will discuss the earliest ideas of the sewing machine in America and the men that brought it to life. She’ll also discuss what happened behind the scenes, including the drama that got us to the sewing machines we know and love today. After the presentation everyone is invited up to see machines from 1848 to the 1960’s. Participants will even be able to sew a few stitches on a hand crank sewing machine from 1881!
Sharon Huffstetler grew up in an antique shop her parents owned in Camden, SC in the 1990’s to early 2000’s. That upbringing instilled a love for all antiques and especially history. When she got into quilting at the age of 27 it was only a matter of time before she connected her passion for antiques to her newfound hobby. By age 31 she had opened her business and did demonstrations up and down the east coast on her antique hand crank sewing machines. At 32 she took apart her first Featherweight and the rest is history as they say. Now at 34 she owns an Antique and Vintage Quilt Shop just doors down from the building her parents had their antique shop in all those years ago. Sharon has designed and produced 3 rulers for the Featherweight and 2 tools to help those with hand mobility issues to continue to enjoy these fun and precious pieces of history.
The program will begin at 11 AM at the Horry County Museum, located at 805 Main Street, Conway SC. 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.

The Horry County Museum, in partnership with Coastal Carolina University, will host a free performance by The United States Air Force Band Ceremonial Brass on Saturday, March 18th at 3:00 PM in the McCown Auditorium.
The Ceremonial Brass is the official ceremonial ensemble of the United States Air Force.

Featuring 41 active-duty musicians, the Ceremonial Brass provides musical support for funerals at Arlington National Cemetery, arrivals for foreign heads of state at the White House and Pentagon, patriotic programs, and change of command, retirement, and awards ceremonies.
The Ceremonial Brass can be traced back to 1964 when The United States Air Force Headquarters Command Band was incorporated into The U.S. Air Force Band as a ceremonial unit. It became an all brass and percussion ensemble in 1985 and was renamed the Ceremonial Brass. Today, this elite group is responsible for more than 1,000 ceremonial performances each year. Members often perform in smaller chamber music formations at formal military and civilian functions, education outreach events, and local concert venues.
As part of The U.S. Air Force Band, the Ceremonial Brass’ mission is to HONOR those who have served, INSPIRE American citizens to heightened patriotism and service, and CONNECT with the global community on behalf of the U.S. Air Force and the United States. The excellence demonstrated by the Ceremonial Brass reflects the excellence displayed by all Airmen stationed worldwide, whose selfless service and sacrifices ensure the freedoms enjoyed by citizens of the United States of America.

Teaching others the art of restoration has become advantageous due to the many requests for restoration service. More information can be found on Brenda’s website www.thimbletales.com.
