Historic Old Town Florence is a charming 1900s fishing village built beside the Siuslaw River. Its original port and marina still bustle with boats and seafaring vessels. Visit the Siuslaw Pioneer Museum to learn more about the community's origins as a fishing village and the Indigenous People who were here first. In 2004 the Confederated Tribes of the Coos, Lower Umpqua and Siuslaw Indians built the Three Rivers Casino Resort. Adjacent Florence is the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area, the largest coastal sand dunes in North America. For easy access to the dunes, follow the South Jetty Road to a spot popular with beachcombers, surfers, windsurfers and ATV drivers.
The Florence Events Center is home to the Last Resort Players theatre company and FACE—Florence Arts, Culture & Entertainment, an independent 501c3 all-volunteer nonprofit in support of the venue and all who use it.
