The 2021 Horry County Museum Documentary Film Series continues with the film Hearts & Hands: The Influence of Women & Quilts on American Society.

This film presents a vital part of American history, the role played by women and their textiles in the nineteenth century’s great movements and events including the Civil War, the abolition of slavery, westward expansion, the suffrage and temperance movements. The film explores the astonishing lives and accomplishments of ordinary, often anonymous women as well as chronicling the lives of extraordinary individuals such as Harriet Tubman, Elizabeth Keckley, Frances Willard and Abigail Scott Duniway.

The film is free to the public and will be shown at 1 p.m., Wednesday, March 24, at the Horry County Museum, 805 Main Street in Conway.
