Museum Matinees: "They Were Here: Ice Age Humans in SC"

The 2020 Horry County Museum Documentary Film Series continues with They Were Here: Ice Age Humans in South Carolina. Part of the Carolina Stories Series by SCETV, this 30-minute film tells the story of a time when our climate was cooler and the plants and animals were much different than today. A time when great ice sheets covered the northern areas of what was to become the United States. A time when early humans were coming to chert quarries in what is now Allendale County, South Carolina. This documentary covers the careful study and analysis of artifacts leading to evidence of a time when people inhabited South Carolina 15,000-20,000 years ago.

The film is free to the public and will be shown at 1 p.m., Wednesday, Sept. 2, at the Horry County Museum, located at 805 Main St. in Conway.

The Horry County Museum Documentary Film Matinees will continue throughout 2020. For a full list of films, visit our website at www.horrycountymuseum.org. For more information, call the Horry County Museum at (843) 915-5320 or email hcgmuseum@horrycounty.org.
