The Last Auction
to
Horry County Museum 805 Main Street , Conway, South Carolina 29526
The 2024 Horry County Museum Documentary Film Series continues with The Last Auction, part of the Carolina Stories Series from ETV. For more than 100 years Mullins was the major tobacco market for South Carolina. Since 1997, the tobacco allotment has been cut in half, textile manufacturers have moved away and Mullins, a town of 5,000, has lost more than 1,200 jobs. Although The Last Auction is the story of a small South Carolina town, the issues it explores-- agricultural mechanization, rural unemployment, exodus of youth from small towns, and loss of manufacturing jobs--are of national significance.
The film is free to the public and will be shown at 1 p.m., Wednesday, Aug. 28t, at the Horry County Museum, located at 805 Main Street in Conway.
The Horry County Museum Documentary Film Matinees will continue throughout 2024.For more information, call the Horry County Museum at (843) 915-5320 or e-mail hcg.museum@horrycountysc.gov.
