Experience life on the family farm in Horry County from 1900-1955 at the L.W. Paul Living History Farm. Join us on January 4th from 9:30 AM until 10:30 AM for Farm Harvest Day to participate in the picking, gathering, and preparing of crops on the farm. This month’s demonstration will focus on the importance of firewood.
Cutting firewood was as much a part of harvesting on farms as picking or gathering field crops and would normally take place in the winter months when the work load was typically lighter. Visitors can try their hand at using the tools for this task and learn about the different types of wood that were most desirable to use.
