Citizens of Horry County to Receive Life-Size Replicas of Nation’s Charters of Freedom
The Declaration of Independence, United States Constitution, Bill of Rights and Civil Rights Amendments are coming to Conway thanks to the collective efforts of the Horry County Museum, along with local contractors and community leaders, working with Foundation Forward, Inc. of Burke County, NC.
The Charters of Freedom will be permanently installed at the Horry County Museum, located at 805 N Main Street in Conway. The setting will be only the third location to be installed in South Carolina, and the first to include a limestone top display set on a brick and concrete base.
A ceremonial groundbreaking will be held at the museum at 4:00 pm on Tuesday, May 20th. Foundation Forward representatives and local residents, Mike Unruh and Alexis Thurlo, will join Horry County Museum Director, Walter Hill, Horry County Council Members, and other community leaders for the event. The public is invited to attend.
Community support for this project, in the form of donation, purchase of a Legacy Paver, or scheduling a speaking engagement with your school or civic group can be coordinated through Mike Unruh at 910-508-3165, or by visiting Foundation Forward’s website www.Chartersoffreedom.com .
