The Galivants Ferry Stump Speaking

The Galivants Ferry Stump Speaking Now in its 143rd year, the Galivants Ferry Stump will host its first ever *Presidential Stump* on Mo The actual “speaking” will begin at 6:00 p.m.

The Galivants Ferry Stump, which has been held biennially for more than 140 years, is considered the oldest and largest “stump speaking” in the nation. Galivants Ferry itself became hallowed grounds for Horry County Democrats when General Wade Hampton arrived there on horseback in late September to initiate his history-making gubernatorial campaign of 1876. This marked the beginning of Democratic

dominance in South Carolina politics for the next hundred years. This is the first year that the Stump has hosted presidential candidates instead of keynote speakers. The 2019 Presidential Stump will be held at P*e Dee Farms, the community’s century-old general store. Galivants Ferry, which is on the National Registry of Historic Districts, is located on Highway 501 where it crosses the Little P*e Dee River. The Stump will follow the traditional festival format of bluegrass music and clogging starting at 5:00 p.m. featuring Democratic Presidential candidates for the first time.
