A Legacy of Giving: Estate Auction to Benefit LC Museum and Laurens County Humane Society

In a heartwarming testament to the power of philanthropy and community support, the upcoming estate auction scheduled for Saturday, August 12, at Ivy Auctions on Highway 76 will benefit the Laurens County Museum and the Laurens County Humane Society. The late Joe Ewing, a fixture in the Laurens community and the proprietor of Antiques on the Square, has generously included these two institutions in his will. As the auction’s preview unfolds at ivyauctions.com, anticipation builds for a day that will support local heritage and animal welfare.

On August 12, beginning at 9 am, the doors will open to enthusiasts, collectors, and community members alike, eager to engage in the spirited bidding that accompanies estate auctions. What sets this event apart, however, is the purpose: to contribute to the betterment of the community through support for the Laurens County Museum and the Laurens County Humane Society.

Joe Ewing, a name synonymous with Antiques on the Square, was more than just a connoisseur of valuable objects. He brought his antique store to Laurens in 2019 from Tryon, North Carolina, with his business partner Nancy Roth of Nancy Roth Antiques. Ewing was a long time pillar in the antique community, specializing in sterling silver. His passion was restoration of historic homes. He restored the Todd-Irby-Henderson House on Todd Avenue in Laurens.

The inclusion of the Laurens County Museum and the Laurens County Humane Society in his will reflects Ewing’s values and his desire to leave a lasting legacy.
