Friends of the Florence Stockade is a non-profit organization located in Hartsville, South Carolina. The organization's mission is to preserve and share the history of the Florence Stockade, a Confederate prisoner-of-war camp during the Civil War.

The Florence Stockade was built in 1864 and held over 12,000 Union prisoners of war during its operation. This included soldiers from various states across the country, as well as civilian prisoners who were arrested for supporting the Union cause.

The organization also works to preserve the physical site of the stockade, which is now largely overgrown and in disrepair.

In addition to their preservation efforts, Friends of the Florence Stockade also works to honor the memory of those who suffered at the stockade. This includes hosting annual memorial ceremonies and placing markers and monuments at the site to commemorate the lives lost there.

Overall, Friends of the Florence Stockade is a dedicated organization committed to preserving and sharing the history of an important and often overlooked aspect of the Civil War.
