How did Horry County become what it is today? This talk will cover some fascinating moments in Horry County’s history, including Confederate deserters raiding local farms, the largest wooden ship built in South Carolina, an abandoned riverside community, German POWs, and a suspected murderer calling down the wrath of God on his accusers.  

Join Marian Calder of the Horry County Museum for a dive into our area’s rich and tumultuous past.
