History

In September of 2008, Florence County Council established the Florence County Museum Board. This board was established in response to a 3:1 match of funding made available through the State of South Carolina. The Florence County Museum Board is made up of nine members, who are appointed by and serve at the pleasure of County Council (one member from each County District).

Thanks to the generosity of the Drs. Bruce and Lee Foundation and Florence County, allocated funding was secured for the purpose of constructing a Florence County Museum facility.

In 2009, Florence County contracted with Watson Tate Savory along with associate design architect, Cooper Robertson and Partners to design a building for the corner of Cheves and Dargan Streets. The Florence County Museum facility is designed to address the past, present, and future of Florence County; its unique relationships with the Pee Dee region, the state of South Carolina, and the world.

The Florence County Museum opened to the public on October 12, 2014 at 111 West Cheves Street.
