SUMMARY:Dot Kenney: Get to Know Quilts of Valor
DESCRIPTION:We’re celebrating textiles throughout March at the Horry County Museum! Join us Tuesday\, March 26th at 11 AM as local quilters Dot Kenney and Joan Wobbleton share information about Quilts of Valor (QOV). Learn the history of QOV\, how to become involved and the basics of constructing quilts; from selecting the fabric through completion. There will also be a demonstration on stars and the opportunity for single star quilts to be taken home and completed. \nDot Kenney began sewing on a Singer trundle machine at the age of 10. She has made wedding\, prom\, and christening dresses and has sewn all her own clothes and made clothing for family and friends. She first heard about Quilts of Valor in January 2020 at a charity knitting class. Prior to QOV\, she had made one quilt\, but now makes toppers and helps with local presentations. \nJoan Wobbleton is a retired nurse practitioner who began quilting some 60 years ago when she watched her mother in law and her sisters sitting around a large wooden frame in her living room. They spent the day hand quilting and talking. Joan made one hand quilt almost 40 years ago and that was her last: “I found out a sewing machine was quicker and therefore I’ve made many quilts.” Joan and her husband Jim have been involved in the Quilts of Valor program since 2010 including starting the Myrtle Beach Shorebirds group. \nThe program will be held 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 hcg.museum@horrycountysc.gov.

DESCRIPTION:We’re celebrating textiles all month at the Horry County Museum. Join us for a program by Kathleen Armel on Thursday\, March 28th at 11 AM.

SUMMARY:Chief Harold Hatcher to speak on the Waccamaw Indian People
DESCRIPTION:The Horry County Museum presents a lecture by Chief Harold Hatcher on the Waccamaw Indian People on Saturday\, April 6th\, at 1:00 PM. This presentation will focus on the history of the Waccamaw Indian People from ancient times to today\, including their presence around the time of the Revolutionary War and in the Dimery Settlement. \nHarold D. Hatcher\, the eighth of nine children\, was born to Ms. Kathleen C. (Altman) and Mr. Claude L. Hatcher\, on May 27\, 1949. Hatcher joined the United States Army at the age of eighteen and remained in the military for the following 20 years. During his military career he served over eleven years with the elite 82nd Airborne Division\, including combat in the Republic of Vietnam. Among his over 21 medals and awards is a Purple Heart\, a Bronze Star of Valor\, the Vietnamese Cross of Gallantry\, Basic Airborne Wings and the Combat Infantryman’s Badge. He retired from the Army in 1988 at the rank of Chief Warrant Officer Third Class\, educated in the field of Automotive Technology and Logistics. \nHatcher was elected as the Chief of the Waccamaw Indian Tribe in 1992 and has served for over 25 years in that position. Chief Hatcher raised two sons: Dalton\, who serves on the Waccamaw Tribal Council\, and Doug\, who serves as the tribe’s Web Master and computer consultant. He is also very proud of his daughter\, Carol who is a supervisor at Verizon. The Chief’s wife\, Susan Hayes-Hatcher also serves on the Tribal Council. \nIn 2014\, the Chief was elected for his fourth term as the Chairman of the South Carolina Indian Affairs Commission and has served in that position now for over twelve years. During his tenure as the chairman several changes to state laws were realized. These laws include regulations\, criteria\, and procedure for a Native entity to obtain official recognition in the state\, and laws that returned to Native Chiefs and religious leaders the right to perform marriages for their own people\, and the right to use game animal parts on traditional Native arts and crafts in the state. Chief Hatcher also chaired the National Coalition for Indian Equality\, which consisted of over 400 Native Groups and Tribes across the country. In 1994\, Chief Hatcher briefed then President William (Bill) Clinton on the plight of non-federal Indians in this country and achieved some relief in federal laws that separate non-federal Indians from other citizens of the United States. State wide\, he was worked closely with every Governor of South Carolina since Honorable Carol Campbell and had been recognized by a state legislative proclamation for his work on the Native American recognition project that resulted in Native American Recognition in the state of South Carolina. \nChief Hatcher is featured in three South Carolina School Social Studies text books\, At Home in South Carolina\, Let’s Learn about South Carolina and South Carolina\, and three state educational guides including Those Who Remain\, Indians of South Carolina and Strangers in Their Own Land. Additionally\, Hatcher is a primary character in the novels\, Fool Me Once\, The Buckskin General and How it Was. \nHatcher is sought as a speaker on Native Issues across the county and has shared a stage with presidential candidates Ross Perot\, John McCain\, Howard Dean and others. Hatcher was the keynote speaker for the Traveling Wall\, the Vietnam Veteran Memorial when it was brought to Myrtle Beach in 2007\, and was the keynote speaker for the Verizon workers conference at the Smithsonian Institute for the Native American\, in Washington\, DC\, in 2002. On the 23rd Day of February 2018\, Hatcher was awarded the Thomas Jefferson Award and shares that award with names such as Jimmy Carter\, John Glenn\, Colin Powell\, Oprah Winfrey and Condoleezza Rice. Hatcher was honored by the South Carolina National Guard in their first ever Cultural Unity Day\, a tradition he hopes will continue. On the 30th of June 2019 Hatcher was selected and honored during the South Carolina 2019 Celebration of Freedom. Joining him there were Governor McMaster\, Lt. Governor Evette\, State Attorney General Wilson\, MG McCarthy\, the State Adjutant \nGeneral and his staff\, LG General Beagle\, the Commanding General of Fort Jackson and others. Hatcher marks this as one of the greatest honors of his career. \nThe program is free to the public and 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 hcg.museum@horrycountysc.gov. The view a full list of scheduled programs\, visit the museum website at www.horrycountymuseum.org.

SUMMARY:When Rice Was King. Part of the Carolina Stories Series by SCETV
DESCRIPTION:The 2024 Horry County Museum Documentary Film Series continues with When Rice Was King. Part of the Carolina Stories Series by SCETV\, this film tells the story of how rice became a major cash crop in South Carolina. The cultivation of rice in South Carolina began in the late 1600s. By the time of the American Revolution\, it had created the largest concentration of wealth in the American colonies. The knowledge and labor of slaves from Africa’s Windward Coast were major factors in the making of this wealth. However\, South Carolina’s rice culture experienced heavy tolls due to the Civil War\, emancipation and hurricanes. The economic and social impact of the state’s rice culture created a legacy that remains today. \nThe film is free to the public and will be shown at 1:00 PM\, Wednesday\, May 1st\, at the Horry County Museum\, located at 805 Main Street in Conway. \nThe Horry County Museum Documentary Film Matinees will continue throughout 2024.

SUMMARY:David Henry Lucas to Speak on The Rice Kings Series
DESCRIPTION:The Horry County Museum presents a lecture and book signing by David Henry Lucas on his series The Rice Kings on Saturday\, May 4th\, at 1:00 PM. The series chronicles the history of the Lucas family over 300 years\, starting with Jonathan Lucas in 1754. Books will also be available to purchase after the program. \nDavid Henry Lucas was born in Greensboro\, N.C.\, and grew up in the small farming town of Bishopville\, S.C. In the fall of 1965\, Mr. Lucas attended the University of South Carolina on a football scholarship. He majored in International Studies and received a B.A. degree in January 1970. After a short period in the United States Marine Corp\, he was given a medical discharge and returned to Columbia\, South Carolina to pursue a career in business. Mr. Lucas later moved to the Isle of Palms working in development. Having written a book chronicling the history of his US Supreme Court fight to protect private property rights in the 90’s\, Mr. Lucas decided to embark on a new profession. In 2012\, he began work on a memoir relating the story of his time as a student athlete at the University of South Carolina. \nAs a follow-up project\, he has taken on the challenge of romanticizing the history of his forbears\, starting in the year 1754. The first novel is entitled “The Rice Kings\, Book One\, The Beginning” which chronicles the early life and training of Jonathan Lucas\, a fourth great grandfather. “The Rice Kings\, Book Two. Charleston\,” brings the story to America where Jonathan invented the rice mill. This invention allowed the South Carolina Lowcountry to become incredibly wealthy and produced a golden era for the region. These two books are the first in a series of historical novels that are intended to relate the saga of the rise and fall of the Old South. Time permitting; the series will describe the aftermath of the War Between the States through the eyes of the people who experienced it. Finally\, the story of the slow economic recovery of the South\, beginning with the life of his grandfather\, H. S. Lucas\, born in 1888\, and expanding the history of the Lucas Family throughout the 20th Century. \nMr. Lucas is married to the former Martha Black from Bamberg\, South Carolina. They have three children and six grandchildren. David and his wife reside in Mt. Pleasant\, South Carolina\, near Charleston\, to be closer to their children and grandchildren. \nThe program is free to the public and will be held in the Museum’s McCown Auditorium located at 805 Main Street\, Conway\, SC 29526.

SUMMARY:Col. Thomas ‘Buddy’ Styers to speak on the Myrtle Beach Air Force Base
DESCRIPTION:The Horry County Museum presents a lecture by Col. Thomas ‘Buddy’ Styers on Saturday\, May 11th\, at 1:00 PM. Col. Styers will speak on the life of the Myrtle Beach Air Force Base from 1954-2024. \nColonel Styers serves as the Executive Director of the Myrtle Beach Air Force Base Redevelopment Authority that was established by the South Carolina General Assembly in 1994 to oversee the redevelopment and reuse of the closed Myrtle Beach Air Force Base. He is responsible for the day-to-day management of the Authority and directs the economic development of the former Myrtle Beach Air Force Base. He developed and executed the Authority’s long and short range goals and objectives to create diversified employment opportunities and to enhance the local tax base.  He also represented the Authority with the general public and the media and maintained close liaison with local\, state\, and federal governmental agencies. \nColonel Styers was the driving force behind the successful development of The Market Common on the former base.

SUMMARY:Uncommon Folk
DESCRIPTION:The 2024 Horry County Museum Documentary Film Series continues with the SCETV film Uncommon Folk. \nThere 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. \nThe film is free to the public and will be shown at 1:00 PM\, Wednesday\, May 15th\, at the Horry County Museum\, located at 805 Main Street in Conway. \nThe Horry County Museum Documentary Film Matinees will continue throughout 2024. For a list of films\, visit our website at www.horrycountymuseum.org. For more information\, call the Horry County Museum at 843-915-5320 or e-mail hcg.museum@horrycountysc.gov.
