Florence County Museum

Extensive history of the area and of the people who developed it. There are two exhibits of art currently on display in separate areas. (All artwork is pictured.)

This was wonderful! Loved the local history geology and interactive elements!

Fun, educational and surprising gem of a museum. Super interesting local history coupled with beautiful works of art. The museum is laid out very well. As you stroll through the exhibit by Johnson, you'll find a fascinating story of a talented man whose life and travels shaped his art.

Great complement to Florence. There are plenty of parking spaces and interesting landscaping. Super clean, with the right blend of art and history.

Beautiful place. It's very informative by giving information on how and who help with forming Florence and also some of the neighboring cities as well. My granddaughter did the scavenger hunt they had for people to do if they chose to. We had a great time, 90 minutes went by very quickly today!!!!

Free, which makes it ok. I don't think I would pay to go to this museum. Provides a well documented history of Florence County. They have fragments of an A-bomb that accidentally fell from a plane (but wasn't activated to explode).

The staff was pleasant & the environment is very clean. I only wish they had more exhibits. But, it was an excellent outing for free/ no admission fee.

Was so surprised by the beauty of this county museum. I was driving north from Florida to Maryland and stopped en route to see its William H. Johnson collection. It did not disappoint from the museums beauty to this collection. Admittedly I did not see the other collections or the curation, but the William H. Johnson collection was beautiful.

Free admission . Closed on Mondays . Large objects are not allowed in the galleries like large bags, parcels, backpacks and umbrellas. Free lockers are available to store large belongings. Mobility accessible with both stairs and an elevator. My DAR chapter took a field trip to Florence County Museum because of their Revolutionary War gallery . The museum seems fairly new and modern . It offers two floors of galleries , exhibits and displays . The museum also offers interactive activities for both kids and adults like a museum scavenger hunt and activities in the museum courtyard. On the day we visited I was able to use indigo to dye a small planter and then plant a tomato seed in the planter . Nice , clean bathrooms and free parking . Plan to spend at least an hour or so here depending on how much you read and any activities you do .

Small but elegant and brand new facility. Spacious but limited galleries. Lots of open space out of doors. Currently two featured galleries for fine art and several small galleries for history. Free to visit and friendly staff. Visit the museum and other local downtown restorations. Directly across from Francis Marion University Performing Arts Center and nearby are several fun dining opportunities. Florence Hotel is around the corner for accommodations. Handicapped accessible.
