Pope's Tavern Museum

  • March 29, 2006
  • Rated 2 of 5 by NiteOwlTX from LaPlace, Louisiana
Pope's Tavern Museum

Pope's Tavern is significant because it was once a stage coach stop, an inn, and a tavern. This is one of the oldest buildings in Florence. It was used as a hospital by both the Union and Confederate soldiers.

Now, owned by the city of Florence, the tavern has been converted into a museum with artifacts from the pioneer days, to the Civil War, to the end of the 19th century. There is a lot of Civil War material here, as well as some antiques from the pioneer days. The museum is led by a guided tour, which is just barely better than a self guided tour, as the tour guide cannot really answer many questions.

I recommend this site for anyone interested in history, especially Civil War history or local history.
