h e SIUSLAW PIONEER MUSEUM is the home of historic displays,
pictures and other information about the Siuslaw River area, including
h e Pioneers and the City of Florence. h ese displays feature the Pioneers
whose occupations were primarily as loggers and i shermen. In the early
days the Siuslaw River was
the primary and nearly
exclusive means of travel
in the area. Visitors to
the museum will have the
opportunity to see real
settings that these early
pioneers lived in.
You
could
spend

Siuslaw Pioneer Museum

of it and include a self
guided Historic Walking Tour which begins at the museum and brings you
by 21 dif erent buildings & locations in the Old Town Florence area.

presentation shows a brief history of Florence along with information on
