Pope's Tavern Museum
~ Pope's Tavern Museum: 203 Hermitage Drive. Florence, Alabama
Once a stagecoach stop, tavern, and inn where Andrew Jackson stopped overnight en route to the Battle of New Orleans. Pope's Tavern is one of Florence's oldest structures. It served as a hospital for both Confederate and Union forces during the War Between the States. Later home to the Lambeth family, it remained a private residence until purchased by Florence in 1965 to preserve and showcase the city's history. The museum is operated for the purpose of displaying, teaching, and interpreting the cultural history of Florence and the Shoals area.
