This is a wonderful local museum, celebrating the history and people of Florence County, S.C. It is a beautiful building – inside and out – with well-constructed exhibits, great artifacts and summaries. If youre in the area, its well worth a visit. And its free to boot.

First time going here today. Its is free, parking can be hard to find if its busy. Free guided tours. Lots of beautiful historical pictures and relics. Very beautiful and clean museum. Definitely worth a stop by. Very easy to see from the street. Very helpful friendly staff.

I am giving stars based in my experience in a class. I definitely will go back to experience the museum. The class was informative, fun, and interactive. We left with the materials and knowledge to try what we learned in our classes or own our own.

Lovely, well done Museum! I attended an Art fundraising Event. The food was good and plentiful! I would encourage the locals and visitors to stop in and see the growing educational addition to Downtown Florence.

Its not as big as most musuems but it has a lot of history and art work. 2 floors to be exact. They have bathrooms on both floors and they have an elevator for those unable to take the stairs. Admission is free and parking is on the side of the building. When you get the time stop by.

Step up much higher from when located near Timrod Park. Beautiful paintings like Tumultuous Sea, loaded with history like a documentary when an A-Bomb dropped on Mars Bluff, walk through time history of the development of Florence and the Heart of to the Pee Dee. Awesome...

It is a very informative place with bits of almost every county in Florence and beyond. Some civil war artifacts as well as some fossils that were found on Edisto Island. Of course, there some things about Francis Marion. We did not see the other half (where portraits, and paintings are displayed.). We do plan to return soon!

The museum is new and has an exhibit on the history of Florence County. Its a big well lit space with superior presentation and signage. There are also many temporary exhibits throughout the year to keep locals coming back. The museum offers art classes for all ages, family days and docent led tours too.
