Our newly expanded research area with a nice big library table to stretch out those files and pictures is waiting for
you!
Do you have a history in Florence? Come to the Florence Pioneer Museum and Research Center and find out! We have many pictures that are not labeled. Perhaps your grandmother
or baby brother needs a new home in the family album. They promise not to fight with the other relatives if you place them into a family scrapbook.
Gayle MacKinnon, our director of research, has created many files for you to look through for the past and the present.
Topics such as:
--Local families
--Oil wells
--Coal mines
--Schools
--Organizations/clubs
--Chamber of Commerce
activities
--Florence City Council news
--Churches
--Florence businesses
--Florence residences
--James A. McCandless: Founding Father of Florence
