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.

Topics such as:

--Local families

--Oil wells

         activities

--Florence City Council news
