SC TOBACCO MUSEUM MULLINS SC
Tobacco museum Mullins Sc.
Tobacco Museum in Mullins SC
Situated inside the old train depot, the South Carolina Tobacco Museum is one of the best museums you'll find in South Carolina. Reggie McDaniel is the museum curator and is also the native born descendant of the man who started the town of Mullins, Steven Smith. Reggie walked me through the museum and explained in detail the entire process and history of the tobacco industry, which at one time was the backbone of the American economy. The museum is a time capsule of a lifestyle and industry that has fallen from grace. If you're in the area, it really is a wonderful place to visit with the scent of the drying tobacco leaves still lingering in the air.
Here's the link to the museum on Google Maps

Late 1800s Tobacco Barn
Check out my farmhouse blog at: !
My family and I went to the annual cornshucking in October 2016 at Horne Creek Farm in Pinnacle, North Carolina. This is a short little tour of a late 19th Century tobacco barn.
My mom and I are direct descendants of the founders of Bennett's Welcome, founded in the 1620s in Jamestown, Virginia. Since then, my family has continued farming, especially tobacco. My grandfather's farm was the last of our line. He got out of the tobacco industry in the late 1980s, just before the decline really kicked in. He continued farming food crops on his farm until he passed away. My mother and I continue the longstanding tradition of our family today, albeit with small kitchen gardens instead of acres and acres of fields.
This is just a little glimpse of what generations of folks in rural North Carolina did for a living until recent years.

Tobacco Collection - Kansas City
We are handling the disposition if the Jesse and Mary Pepper Tobacco Museum at their home in Weston, MO. Involved in the tobacco industry since 1939 the reprinted article from the Farm Collector, July 2000 issue highlights their story. I have also included a few pictures and have also attached a 6 minute video taken to give you a better feel for the magnitude and depth of the collection.
The Family Estate intends to sell the entire room to one buyer. The separate room holding the Museum will only be shown to interested buyers, presumably by appointment.
If you have more interest, please call Bruce Krigel at 816-679-2616 or e-mail at brucekrigel@me.com. Bids will be taken from now until we have reached a high enough bid commensurate with the value of the Museum Collection.
Thank you,

Tobacco Heritage - Connecting 4U
Today is Tobacco Heritage Day at the L.W. Paul Living History Farm. This is a living history farm from the time period of 1900 to 1955, owned by Horry County Government. We're part of the Horry County Museum. On Tobacco Heritage Day we demonstrate how they would have harvested and gathered tobacco, even tied tobacco before the 1955 era.
Tobacco culture was an important feature of our economy in Horry County for nearly a century. Indeed, today it is difficult to imagine the extent to which tobacco dominated the economy of Horry County.
Cotton had been king in the south for generations, but by the 1880s, the old monarch had fallen on hard times. Cigarette smoking was becoming popular here and in Europe, and greater supplies of leaf tobaccos were needed to meet this demand. No-one knows exactly when the first tobacco was planted in Horry, but as early as the 1850s a few Horry farmers were planting small patches, typically a few dozen plants. As tobacco culture continued to spread during the 1890s and the early 1900s, the region showed great enthusiasm for the new staple.
The countryside prospered and market towns thrived, and well into the 20th century, change was recorded on the landscape as fields were cleared, barns raised, swamps drained, rails laid and roads paved, in tobacco's name.
Stringing tobacco under a tobacco barn like they've been doing here today took a lot of skill. It was almost an art to be able to string tobacco and so kids in this time period were taught from the very beginning just being around their parents feet as they were harvesting tobacco and they'd begin to see how it was done, and then they would learn that as they grew up into that culture.
The men were mostly in the field cropping or priming tobacco, as it was called, and you needed to know which leaves to harvest. Of course, today we were getting the last leaves from the stalk, but through the year they may harvest that tobacco seven times sometimes, taking two to three to four leaves from the plant every time, and you needed to know which leaves to break off because if you got the green ones that wouldn't ripe, then it wouldn't cure out. You couldn't sell it to get your money from your work for the year, so they needed to know which leaves to break off. Then they needed to know how to get their hand around the stalk so they got the complete leaf off, not to leave the stem on the stalk because that was weight, that was taking out of your profit.
One thing that characterized the tobacco culture here was flue-curing, a modern process at that time, where they could speed up the drying of the green tobacco into the dried or cured, as they call it, leaf which is gold and a sort of yellow color, which then they could process into cigarettes and they had a modern way of doing it in airtight barns. It would take about five days to cure, rather than the older method, which they would hang it up to just dry naturally, which took four or five weeks. So you could speed the process up.
