CONWAY, S.C. (WBTW) -- A barn at the L.W. Paul Living History Museum in Conway was damaged Tuesday night in a fire, authorities said.

Horry County Fire Rescue crews were dispatched to 2260 Harris Shortcut Road just before 6:15 p.m., where an educational tobacco barn sustained damage.

No injuries were reported.

Larry Paul, a local businessman with a rich farming heritage in Horry County, offered to fund the construction of a family farm to depict farm and domestic life from 1900 through 1955. In 2006, Horry County Council designated 17 acres of land for use by the Horry County Museum as the L. W. Paul Living History Farm.
