Experience life on the ‘one horse family farm’ from 1900-1955 at the L.W. Paul Living History Farm. For much of the 20th century, tobacco was the main cash crop for Horry County and the Pee Dee Region. During the late summer, leaves would be gathered and taken to the barn to be strung and cured, this process required participation from all family members, down to young children, whose job would be to hand the tobacco leaves to a stringer. Join us to relive this experience on Tobacco Heritage Day, Saturday, August 3rd. Demonstrations will take place from 9:00 AM until 3:00 PM and will include gathering, hand tying and stringing tobacco, and a variety of other activities including grinding grits and meal, cooking on a wood stove, and blacksmithing.
