Pope's Tavern Museum

Pope's Tavern Museum, located in downtown Florence, Lauderdale County, is a local history center interpreting nineteenth century domestic life, slavery, Civil War history, and medicine in the northwest Alabama area, in addition to hosting an active public archaeology program. Previously a privately-owned residence and a boardinghouse, the museum has been owned and operated by the city of Florence since 1965.
