Tom Poland: South Carolina Country Roads: Of Train Depots, Filling Stations, & Other Vanishing Charms
2018-10-20 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 author Tom Poland on Saturday, October 20th, on his book South Carolina Country Roads: Of Train Depots, Filling Stations & Other Vanishing Charms.
“Venture off the beaten path to forgotten roads, where a hidden South Carolina exists. Time-travel and dead-end at a ferry that leads to wild islands. Cross a rusting steel truss bridge into a scene from the 1930s. Behold an old gristmill and imagine its creaking, clashing gears grinding corn. See an old gas pump wreathed in honeysuckle. Drive through a ghost town and wonder why it died. When’s the last time you saw a country store’s cured hams hanging from wires? How about a vintage Bull Durham tobacco ad on old brick? With vivid full-color photographs, Tom Poland explores scenic backroads that lead to heirloom tomatoes, poke salad, restaurants once gas stations, overgrown ruins and other soulful relics.”
Tom Poland’s work has appeared in magazines throughout the South. Among his recent books are Classic Carolina Road Trips from Columbia, Georgialina, A Southland, As We Knew It, and Reflections of South Carolina Vol. II. Swamp Gravy, Georgia’s Official Folk Life Drama, staged his play, Solid Ground. He writes a weekly column for newspapers and journals in Georgia and South Carolina about the South, its people, traditions, lifestyle and changing culture and speaks to groups across South Carolina and Georgia. Tom grew up in Lincoln County, Georgia and graduated from the University of Georgia. He lives in Columbia, South Carolina, where he writes about “Georgialina,” his name for eastern Georgia and South Carolina.
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.
