The Baruchs of Hobcaw, part of the Carolina Stories
2025-03-12 13:00 UTC | Horry County Museum, 805 Main Street, Conway, SC, 29526, United States
The 2025 Horry County Museum Documentary Film Series continues with The Baruchs of Hobcaw, part of the Carolina Stories Series by SCETV.
In 1718, 17,500 acres of pristine land in Georgetown County became a colonial land grant, or barony, from the King of England to one of the Lords Proprietors. The Native Americans called it “hobcaw,” meaning between the waters. Purchased by Bernard Baruch in 1905, Hobcaw Barony eventually passed into the hands of Baruch’s daughter, Belle, who created a foundation to protect it from development. This film tells the story of the Baruchs and Hobcaw Barony, which is today home to USC’s Baruch Marine Field Laboratory and Clemson’s Belle W. Baruch Institute of Coastal Ecology and Forest Science.
The film is free to the public and will be shown at 1:00 PM, Wednesday, March 12th, at the Horry County Museum, located at 805 Main Street in Conway.

The History of the American Sewing Machine
2025-03-18 13:00 | 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 18th at 1 PM 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 36 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 4 rulers for the Featherweight and 3 tools to help those with hand mobility issues to continue to enjoy these fun and precious pieces of history.
The program will be 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

G-Man: The Rise & Fall of Melvin Purvis
2025-03-26 13:00 | Horry County Museum, 805 Main Street, Conway, SC, 29526, United States
The 2025 Horry County Museum Documentary Film Series continues with G-Man: The Rise & Fall of Melvin Purvis, part of the Carolina Stories Series by SCETV. The name, Melvin Horace Purvis, to many people today, means nothing. But it was not so long ago that Purvis was a household name, and over 260,000 boys and girls were digging through boxes of Post Toasties breakfast cereal to get their very own decoder rings and Junior G-Man badges. Purvis, the Timmonsville native with the unassuming name, skyrocketed to such fame in the 1930s as leader of the FBI team that took down some of the biggest gangsters of his day, including John Dillinger, Baby Face Nelson and Pretty Boy Floyd. His death in 1960 is still shrouded in mystery. Was it a suicide, as first reported? Was it an accidental shooting? Or was there something more sinister behind it?
The film is free to the public and will be shown at 1:00 PM, Wednesday, March 26th, at the Horry County Museum, located at 805 Main Street in Conway.

The 2025 Horry County Museum Documentary Film Series continues with Saving Sandy Island.
