We’re talking corn at the L.W. Paul Living History Farm! Visitors of all ages are invited to join us Saturday, October 30th from 9 AM until 12 PM to learn all about how corn was grown and used in our farm communities. Visitors can try their hand at shelling corn and learn about the different ways that corn would be cooked in the farmhouse. Bring the kids by to make toys out of corn cobs and corn husks too! We’ll be having a costume contest at 11:30, so parents, have your kids dressed like a farmer and be ready to tell us what their favorite crop grown in Horry County is and why!

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 2021 Horry County Museum Documentary Film Series continues with the PBS Film Series Rebels & Redcoats: The War Moves South. In the third installment of the series, we see the British open a new front in the southern colonies. They win a series of victories against American and French forces, and find a new army of recruits amongst former slaves. Thousands of African Americans join the British in the expectation of freedom. The war in the south is an often untold story of a savage war of partisans, border raids and guerilla style skirmishing.
