Movie at the Museum

This month’s Movie at the Museum is Sergeant York. “Prize-winning Tennessee marksman Alvin York (Gary Cooper), a recent convert to Christianity, finds himself torn between his non-violent beliefs and his desire to serve his country when recruited to fight in World War I. Kindly Major Buxton (Stanley Ridges) convinces York to engage in battle, where the pacifist’s prowess with a rifle earns him honors as he continues to struggle with his decision to kill. Howard Hawks directs this adaptation of the real York’s memoirs,” says Oconee Heritage Center Director and Curator Leslie Hagerty. On Friday, Nov. 9, 2018, at 7pm, the Oconee Heritage Center shows this free movie along with free popcorn and drinks. The Oconee Heritage Center is located at 123 Brown’s Square Drive in downtown Walhalla.
