Pope's Tavern, Florence

What a neat lil piece of southern history about north Alabama. Mr Palmer, a retired journalist and editor, meet us at the entrance and began a very interesting, detailed history of both the building and the surrounding area. There were many exhibits with placards explaining the significance of each display. There were a few visitors on this very chilly January, Saturday and Mr. Palmer gave each the excellent presentation of the building. There was also an adjacent building with a new display, The Role of Cotton in the South. I recommend this museum if you enjoy Southern history, untainted.

Very interesting. I learned a lot, especially from David P. He was very nice and very knowledgeable. We really enjoyed our time there. It's a must see!

Pope's Tavern is such a gem that is hiding in plain sight. A tremendous amount of history and artifacts around the Civil War, enslaved people, and the south in general. Great for kids to adults.

Loved visiting this area and all of the history that involves it. Florence is a sweet looking town, & was a wonder to drive through & experience. Would love to go back to Pope's Tavern.....so much history still to be uncovered here at this place/area.

This is a very interesting piece of history. Mr Higgins is full of information about the house and the town. They have a good collection of civil war items and other displays from that time period. Our whole family enjoyed our trip here.
