Today, the museum had the pleasure of sitting down with Roy Walkup Miles, great-grandson of John Lafayette Rodman, one of Waxhaw’s early businessmen, and grandson of Roy Walkup, a former mayor of Waxhaw. Through his memories and stories, generations seemed to come together in one conversation. Moments like these remind us how history lives on — not just in buildings or records, but in the people who carry these stories forward. We are deeply grateful for our memory keepers, who help preserve Wax

Did WWII soldiers really have to stay clean-shaven? In this video, our reenactor shows one of the most overlooked parts of a soldier’s daily routine—shaving in the field. A smooth face wasn’t optional. It ensured gas masks sealed properly, maintained discipline, and helped with hygiene in tough conditions. A simple task, but essential to staying battle-ready. #WWIIHistory #LivingHistory #Reenactment | The Museum of the Waxhaws
