Pope’s Tavern ha been around for many years. It was a place for travelers to rest when headed west to Natchez or east to Nashville. It also served as a hospital during the Civil War. Today it is a museum showing the soldiers uniforms, both North and South, many artifacts of the war and some of the Indians living in this area many years ago. During the Spring one can visit on Frontier Day. AT this event they have weavers, dulcimer musicians, basket weaving, and other crafts to view and purchase. Great for kids of all ages!

Reviewed By whitewater4 - Lookout Mountain, United States
Thank goodness the people of Florence saved this mound. The museum is fantastic with drawers full of Native American artifacts to view. Great, short film about the mound and the Native American in the area. The museum is new and plans to expand the exhibit. Walk to the top (quite a few steps to climb) and feel the presence of our ancestors.
