The 2025 Horry County Museum Documentary Film Series starts off with Waves of Change: The Story of Myrtle Beach, SC. Written and produced by Barbara Stokes, this series follows almost a century in the history, development and people of the sleepy beach village that became a national tourist destination.
The film explores how the community of Myrtle Beach has dealt with two major goals: to bring people to the beach and to build a hometown. It also explores some of the major setbacks to development, as well as the forces and people that propelled its growth. And it discusses the next wave of change-continued increase in growth and the challenges that come with that growth.
The film is free to the public and will be shown at 1 p.m., Wednesday, Jan. 8, at the Horry County Museum, located at 805 Main Street in Conway.
The Horry County Museum Documentary Film Matinees will continue throughout 2025. For more information, call the Horry County Museum at (843) 915-5320 or e-mail hcg.museum@horrycountysc.gov.
