Find It All In Florence

Humble Beginning
Florence began with the migration of trappers,explorers and pioneers into the area. The French explorers built a fort and trading post south of Florence and in 1887 Senator James McCandless incorporated the City of Florence, affectionately naming it after his youngest daughter.

Antiques & Art Abound
Today, the town of Florence still maintains that small-town, down-toearth family feel. Head to historic downtown Florence for an afternoon of browsing, shopping and dining. Boasting 20 antique shops, five art galleries, almost a dozen restaurants and numerous specialty shops, modern-day treasure hunters will love this oasis of antiques and art. Almost every nook and cranny of these antique stores is filled with treasures. From vintage postcards and toys to collectable dishes and books, each store has its own unique personality.

Downtown Florence has also enjoyed a revival of art and music and shoppers can view and purchase artwork in medias including oil paintings, photography,
jewelry, pottery and more. Stop into one of the downtown galleries to view displays and works by local artists and, if you're lucky, catch an artist in action creating their next masterpiece.

Classic Dining to Cafés
After an afternoon of browsing and exploring all that downtown Florence has to offer, settle in for a delicious evening meal at one of the many restaurants. Select from elegant dinner options such as prime rib and eggplant parmesan or opt for a classic, juicy cheeseburger and fries. Top off any meal with a slice of homemade pie. In fact, any time of day is a great time to try a locally baked cream puff, éclair or cinnamon roll.
