Located in downtown Florence, Pope’s Tavern serves as a space to explore the early history of the city of Florence and Lauderdale County through educational programming, public discourse, and community engagement.
Programs at the museum include historical talks, films, and workshops centered on early Florence history. The Museum aims to become a downtown institution, known for creative, historical events and gatherings focused on understanding the past and the present.
In October of 2021, the Museum opened a permanent exhibit, Slavery and Cotton in the Shoals, featuring a textile art map by Valerie S. Goodwin.
