The 2021 Horry County Museum Documentary Film Series continues with the PBS Film Series Rebels & Redcoats: The Shot Heard Round the World.
“With vivid dramatizations of battles, eyewitness accounts, original documents and paintings, Rebels & Redcoats tells the untold story of the American Revolution. Richard Holmes, a renowned British military historian, presents the series. He focuses on the military struggles, soldiers, leaders, and tactics of this great conflict. It is told from an unusual point of view, that of the British losers. Yet it also explores painful conflicts within the American people themselves.”
The film is free to the public and will be shown at 1:00 PM, Wednesday, November 3rd, at the Horry County Museum, located at 805 Main Street in Conway.
The Horry County Museum Documentary Film Matinees will continue throughout 2021. For a full 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 hcgmuseum@horrycounty.org.

The Horry County Museum presents a lecture by Donald Kirkpatrick at 1:00 PM on November 6th on a new, rare Early Paleocene vertebrate fossil locality in the Pee Dee Region. Featuring fossils from his own collection, Mr. Kirkpatrick will discuss what areas he looks for fossils in, and the types that can be found in the Pee Dee.

A large part of farm life in Horry County involved old-fashioned syrup making. Each fall, sugar cane would be gathered from the field and taken to a local cane mill where the juice could be squeezed from the stalk. Cooking down the raw juice into sweet cane syrup became a celebration and gathering for the community and is a tradition that is carried on each year at the L.W. Paul Living History Farm. Join us at the Farm Saturday, November 20th from 9:00 am until 12:00 pm as staff and volunteers demonstrate the process of making cane syrup and a variety of other traditional activities including children’s games, cooking on a wood burning stove, and more! |

Those who have supported the British, the loyalists, thousands of African Americans and American Indians are left to the mercy of the new state. |

The 2021 Horry County Museum Documentary Film Series continues with The Vanishing Generation. It has been over sixty years since the end of World War II, and the last of the South Carolina veterans who fought against the Empire of Japan and Nazi Germany are now dying at an alarming rate. Soon their living memories will be gone and World War II will simply become another chapter in history. This film is a powerful visualization of the first-hand accounts of World War II by South Carolina veterans. These personal remembrances tell the story of what these men experienced, and how it not only changed the world but their lives as well. |

Join us for free 30 minute Saturday activities at the Farm! Parents can sign children up for a half hour session between 9 AM-11 AM. Group sizes will be limited to help ensure social distancing. On December 4th we’ll discuss how archaeologists study people in the past. Children will ‘dig’ through a box of discarded objects to classify and sort the items to determine what event may have taken place. James Spirek, the State Underwater Archaeologist for South Carolina, works at the South Carolina Institute of Archaeology and Anthropology at the University of South Carolina, Columbia. Employed there since 1996 and holding his current position since 2012, Jim’s responsibilities include managing and studying the maritime archaeological legacy residing in the lakes, rivers, and coastal waters of South Carolina. Jim has participated in numerous projects documenting a diverse range of sunken prehistoric and historic watercraft, Colonial and Native American sites, Civil War warships and blockade runners, and other underwater archaeological remains in state waters. He is co-editor of Submerged Cultural Resource Management: Preserving and Interpreting Our Sunken Maritime Heritage, and a co-contributor to Archaeology in South Carolina: Exploring the Hidden Heritage of the Palmetto State, Florida’s Lost Galleon: The Emanuel Point Shipwreck, and Guns of the Pee Dee: The Cannon Recovery. Jim received his B.A. in History from George Mason University in 1987 and his M.A. in Maritime History and Nautical Archaeology from East Carolina University in 1993. The holiday spirit will be alive and well at the L.W. Paul Living History Farm’s upcoming music program, “An American Folk Christmas.” Join museum staff on December 4th at 1 PM in the Church as they perform carols and spirituals for the Christmas season. Following the African and European traditions of American folk music, this program will bring to life the sounds of the season from Christmases past. This program is free, however, space is limited and reservations are required. To reserve your spot, call 843-915-5321 or e-mail hcgmuseum@horrycounty.org. |
