SUMMARY:Uncommon Courage: The D-Day Battle of Graignes
DESCRIPTION:The 2026 Horry County Museum Documentary Film Series continues with Uncommon Courage: The D-Day Battle of Graignes. This documentary tells the remarkable story of the little known battle of Graignes described as the “Alamo of D-Day”. When the D-Day invasion of France began on June 6\, 1944\, approximately 180 American paratroopers were accidentally dropped far from their drop zone\, and landed outside the small village of Graignes in Normandy\, right in the path of a major German counterattack.  Assisted by French villagers\, the American paratroopers at Graignes made a courageous stand against a force of German S.S. troops that was ten time their size. \nThe film is free to the public and will be shown at 1:00 PM\, Wednesday\, June 3rd\, at the Horry County Museum\, located at 805 Main Street in Conway. \nThe Horry County Museum Documentary Film Matinees will continue throughout 2026. For a 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 hcg.museum@horrycountysc.gov.

SUMMARY:Horry County Museum Lecture Series: Auction Houses\, Attempted Co-ops\, and Allotments: The Impact of Flue-Cured Tobacco on Horry County\, SC
DESCRIPTION:After the rise of the boll weevil made cotton crops unstable\, flue-cured tobacco became the main cash crop of Horry County. This presentation focuses on the impact of the auction system and the ways in which farmers and buyers attempted to push the prices in their favor. Join us on June 6th at 1 pm to learn more about the impact of flue-cured tobacco with Horry County Museum Curator Abigail Geedy. \nAbby was born and raised in south-central Pennsylvania and moved to South Carolina for college in 2012.

She then moved into the role of Curator in 2022. She has previously worked as an intern or volunteer at the York County Heritage Trust in York\, PA\, the Pennsylvania State Museum in Harrisburg\, PA and McKissick Museum in Columbia\, SC. \nThe program will be held in the McCown Auditorium located at 805 Main Street\, Conway SC.

SUMMARY:G-Man: The Rise & Fall of Melvin Purvis
DESCRIPTION:The 2026 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? \nThe film is free to the public and will be shown at 1:00 PM\, Wednesday\, June 10th\, at the Horry County Museum\, located at 805 Main Street in Conway. \nThe Horry County Museum Documentary Film Matinees will continue throughout 2026. For a 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 hcg.museum@horrycountysc.gov.
