The Woman’s Museum Auxiliary was organized in 1954 and served for many years as the primary support organization for the
museum. Setting the standard for involvement in museum activities, this organization was the precursor to the Friends of the
Florence Museum.
In 1976, the Friends of the Florence Museum were organized to assist the museum’s director for opening receptions and related
museum activities. The group was formally incorporated as the Friends of the Florence Museum as a South Carolina Nonprofit
corporation. For thirty years, the Friends have played a vital role in the museum serving as docents, event coordinators and
organizing fundraising activities.
In honor of their 30th anniversary, the Friends of the Florence Museum published the Party Palette, a cookbook featuring recipes,
historical information and works of art. The Party Palette can be purchased by calling the Florence Museum.
