Horry County Museum Highlights Local Scuppernong and Muscadine Grapes with Free Events

The Horry County Museum provides a refreshing escape from South Carolina's peak summer heat and humidity. This month, museum director Walter Hill, a renowned storyteller and educator, delivers a lecture on Scuppernong and Muscadine grapes. These native varieties, first discovered along North Carolina's Scuppernong River, are cherished in Southern cuisine for wines, pies, jams, and jellies.

Walter Hill's engaging presentation on Scuppernongs and Muscadines takes place at 1 p.m. on Saturday, September 12, 2020, in the McCown Auditorium at 805 Main Street, Conway, S.C. The event is free and open to the public.
