This place was recreated to show what life was like in the area in the early 1/2 of the 1900's. Visitors can participate in harvesting, milking a cow, grinding corn, etc. according to what time of year it is. There are many different buildings that would be present on a working farm along with farm animals including turkeys, chickens, pigs, cow, horse, etc. There is a saw mill, blacksmith, smoke house, out house, tobacco barn, hand dug canoes, tools from the era, barn, chicken coop, barn, chapel, etc. The visitor center has produce produced from the farm as well as hand made toys, etc. The house has a woman who cooks with a wood stove and explains life from that time period.

While on a recent trip to South Carolina, we had a rainy day and were looking for something to do. We found the Horry County Museum website and decided to make that a "quick" stop on our way to do some shopping. All I can say is WOW, we spent almost three hours exploring the vast exhibits inside the museum. The history of the county and state of South Carolina are truly well displayed in this gem of a museum. The admission is free with a donation box at the entrance of the museum. I'm not sure children wold enjoy the main museum as much, but there is a living history farm connected with the museum that we did not visit. That area may be more enjoyable for children.

Yucked off Rt 701 in Conway, this is a great little nature trail that is still pretty new. It goes along the Waccamaw river and the paths a re cleared very well. You can take a walk and then sit and enjoy a picnic afterwards. During the week is the best time to go so you can find a parking spot. This is a really great option for nature lovers.
