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.

The 2020 Horry County Museum Documentary Film Series continues with This is Brookgreen Gardens. Part of the Carolina Stories Series by SCETV, this film explores Brookgreen Gardens, one of South Carolina’s most beloved landmarks, located in Murrells Inlet, near Myrtle Beach. History, nature, and art come together in a program that is both beautiful and informative, revealing Brookgreen’s enduring importance to the Palmetto State. A distinctive collection of American figurative sculpture, education programs for all ages, dazzling gardens, rare natural habitats, a long and fascinating history—are the things that make Brookgreen Gardens such a unique treasure, nestled between the Waccamaw River and the sea.
The film is free to the public and will be shown at 1:00 PM, Wednesday, August 26th, at the Horry County Museum, located at 805 Main Street in Conway.
