Storytime at the Museum: We celebrate Autumn at Pope’s Tavern! 

Florence Arts & Museums is happy to announce a continuation of our Storytime at the Museum series. Our Museum Educator is inviting young children, ages 4–8 to celebrate autumn and how animals in nature prepare for the new season, on Friday October 17th from 10-11am at Pope’s Tavern Museum. This event will feature a reading of The Leaf Thief, written by Alice Hemming and Nicola Slater with a special squirrel friend to help read the story on the reading rug inside of the museum. The read-aloud will be followed by hands-on activities including a nature walk outside of the museum and a leaf rubbing art activity on the porch.

This program is sponsored by the City of Florence Department of Arts and Museums. This event will be free to the public. Pope’s Tavern Museum is located at 203 Hermitage Dr. Florence, AL 35630.
