The Old West encompasses the period after the Civil War, the rest of the 1800s, and the early part of the 20th century up to 1912, when the last mainland states entered the Union (including Arizona). During this time, thousands of pioneers pushed their way westward in search of land, better lives, gold, silver, and sometimes, to escape the law. From outlaws, to gunfighters, the American cowboys, the Old West Legends provide tales, biographies, and in-depth history into the lives and time in the American West.
The Florence 1800 Peacemakers is a volunteer organization, and we were established in March of 2021. Our purpose is to promote the town of Florence by preserving the town’s legacy in the expansion of the Old West through historical reenactments, including costuming and theatrical performances. All who share the love of the Old West and wish to preserve it are welcome to join the Florence 1800 Peacemakers! You do not have to live in Florence to be a member.
