The 2021 Horry County Museum Documentary Film Series continues with Barbecue & Homecooking: Food That Makes You Smile. This documentary was made to promote folklore and folklife experiences visitors might have in the economically depressed four-counties of the Region III SC National Heritage Corridor. These counties bear primary roots to the beginnings and growth of barbecue in South Carolina. This film explores eateries where the cooks heading up the kitchens or barbecue pits have agrarian family roots and were first taught on wood stoves or by the side of heralded barbecue pit-men. They maintain today’s recipes with ingredients and cooking methods learned at the side of mothers, fathers, aunts, uncles or grandparents in these farming communities. Music by South Carolina roots musicians moves the viewer along as they hit the road with filmmaker Stan Woodward and the folklorist from McKissick Museum as they ‘root-out’ these sites.
The film is free to the public and will be shown at 1:00 PM, Wednesday, January 20th, at the Horry County Museum, located at 805 Main Street in Conway.

Museum Matinee: Southern Stews
2020-12-30 13:00 - 14:00 | Horry County Museum, 805 Main Street, Conway, SC, 29526, United States
The 2020 Horry County Museum Documentary Film Series continues with Southern Stews: A Taste of the South.
The traditions of cooking communal stews in huge black iron pots stirred with wooden paddles have long been a way of Southern gatherings-whether at hunt clubs, church or family reunions, during holidays, or special events such as commemorating the end of harvests or to feed workers helping out at hog-killing time. These stews required a number of workers, with a division of labor usually split between women who would prepare vegetables for the stews and men working in shifts under a stew-master to constantly stir the stew for up to 18 hours before serving. This documentary, introduced and narrated by Southern food writer, John Egerton, takes the viewer across the South and is a fabulous opportunity to connect the dots between such Southern stews such as Burgoo, Brunswick stew, Carolina Hash, Frogmore stew, chicken bog, and sheep stew.
The film is free to the public and will be shown at 1:00 PM, Wednesday, December 30th, at the Horry County Museum, located at 805 Main Street in Conway.

Horry County Museum Lecture Series: Native American Oral Traditions and Archaeology
2020-11-07 13:00 - 15:30 | Horry County Museum, 805 Main Street, Conway, SC, 29526, United States
Join us on November 7th at 1 PM as Abigail Geedy discusses the ways that people, places, and objects influenced one another in South Carolina. Multi-mound Mississippian Era Native American sites have been documented in central South Carolina. A portion of the people who lived there were likely ancestrally related to the peoples of the Catawba Indian Nation, Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians, and Creek (Muscogee) Nation. Using documented oral traditions and the collaboration of current members of these three Nations, we can interpret the meaning behind the natural and built landscape of these sites and the artifacts commonly found there.
Abigail Geedy was born and raised in south-central Pennsylvania and moved to South Carolina for college in 2012. She has both an Anthropology Bachelor’s and a Master’s Degree and a Graduate Certificate of Museum Management from the University of South Carolina. She began volunteering in museums in 2011 and had worked in curation at the South Carolina Institute of Archaeology and Anthropology for the last 5 years. She has just recently joined the Horry County Museum as a Technical Assistant.
The program will be held in the McCown Auditorium 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.
