2019 CCU & OLLI Film Series begins with Gettysburg: On Fields of Fire & Valor
2019-04-13 01:00 - 13:00 | Horry County Museum, 805 Main Street, Conway, SC, 29526, United States
The 2019 CCU & OLLI Film Series begins with the locally produced film Gettysburg: On Fields of Fire & Valor on April 13th at 1:00 PM. Produced and narrated by historian Rod Gragg, this film chronicles the Civil War Battle of Gettysburg, which was the decisive battle of the American Civil War. At the Pennsylvania town of Gettysburg on July 1-3, 1863, more than 95,000 Northern troops led by General George Meade engaged in battle with approximately 75,000 Southern soldiers under the command of General Robert E. Lee. Meade’s Army of the Potomac was defeated by Lee’s Army of Northern Virginia on the battle’s opening day, but held off Lee’s attacks for the next two days, and the battle ended in a major Northern victory. Lee’s army was forced to retreat back to Virginia, and although bloody warfare continued for two more years, the Battle of Gettysburg was the turning point of the Civil War.
“Gettysburg was the largest battle ever fought in the Western Hemisphere,” says historian Rod Gragg, the documentary’s producer. “It’s a dramatic and moving story – both tragic and inspiring – and today it remains an unforgettable example of American courage and sacrifice.” Gettysburg: On Fields of Fire and Valor was originally produced for the annual Veterans Day event – “Salute to American Veterans” – under the sponsorship of Goldfinch Funeral Home, Coastal Carolina University, HTC and Joey Sanders Dentistry of Conway. It was filmed on location at Gettysburg National Military Park and other historic sites.
This program is free to the public and will be held in the McCown Auditorium at the Horry County Museum, located at 805 Main Street, Conway, SC 29526.

The Horry County Museum and the AVX Foundation present a program by Joy Brown on Saturday, March 30th, on the work of the Nature Conservancy’s Living Shoreline work and the North Coast Resilience Project.
Coastal communities in the Carolinas are experiencing an increasing frequency of flood events from rainfall, storm surge, and tidal events. There is growing interest in the solutions nature and natural infrastructure have to offer for flood mitigation, and The Nature Conservancy is working at the local to federal scale to increase resilience to flood risk through nature based solutions.
This session will highlight TNC’s coastal resilience initiatives, including their work in Horry & Georgetown Counties to identify and implement on the ground projects and the living shoreline reefs installed in South Carolina.
Joy earned a BS in Biological Sciences from Florida State University and a Master’s in Biology and Coastal Zone Studies from The University of West Florida in 2007. A native of the Florida Panhandle, Joy worked with a small non-profit group, The Choctawhatchee Basin Alliance, for five years, where she helped grow the organization and implement many of their marine and stormwater programs. She also held a position with the City of Fort Walton Beach where she began an oyster restoration program that utilized local volunteers for oyster gardening and included a science teacher mentoring element.
Joy joined the Science and Stewardship staff of the Charleston Field office in August 2008. Since joining the team, Joy has implemented on-the-ground oyster restoration projects that provide habitat for recreationally and commercially important seafood (crabs, shrimp, fish) and natural shoreline stabilization (living shorelines). She has worked with partners in new and different ways, bringing attention to our marine work from diverse groups. Joy has been leading our North Coast Resilience Project that started in 2016. She is working with communities in Horry and Georgetown Counties to provide nature based solutions for flood mitigation.
The program will begin at 1:00 pm in the McCown Auditorium located at 805 Main Street, Conway S.C. 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.

Christopher Boyle: The Road to Secession in Antebellum Georgetown and Horry Districts
2019-03-09 13:00 | Horry County Museum, 805 Main Street, Conway, SC, 29526, United States
The Horry County Museum and the AVX Foundation present a program by local author and historian Christopher Boyle on Saturday, March 9th, on his book The Road to Secession in Antebellum Georgetown and Horry Districts.
“The road to secession in antebellum Georgetown and Horry districts was long. Through the use of newspapers and public lectures, local leaders unified their communities against the Second Great Awakening reforms, industrialization, corporate model banks and abolition. The leading statesmen cast a bond of allegiance with the yeoman farmers of the pine forests against slave emancipation and changing economic models to forge Southern Nationalism. Planters and farmers joined forces in the struggle to maintain their agricultural traditions and their sense of identity in a rapidly changing world. Plantation historian Christopher Boyle explores the beginning of a critical era in Horry and Georgetown.”
Christopher C. Boyle is a full-time social studies teacher at Socastee High School in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, and a part-time teaching associate at Coastal Carolina University in Conway. Upon graduation from Coastal Carolina University with his bachelor’s degree in history, he further studied history at Winthrop University where he graduated in 1996 with his Master of Arts degree in American history. Boyle is the author of Mansfield Plantation: A Legacy on the Black River.
The program will begin at 1:00 pm in the McCown Auditorium located at 805 Main Street, Conway S.C. 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.
