The War Between the States Museum, in Florence, South Carolina, United States was founded in 1988 by members of the Sons of Confederate Veterans. The house that the museum is in was the home of R. Frank McKain. Many of the artifacts that were donated to the museum were artifacts from members of the Sons of the Confederate Veterans.

The collection consists of guns, uniforms, swords, armor, and some personal items. Rare books and documents are also a part of the collection. Lining the walls throughout the museum are pictures of veterans of the war. The photos include pictures of soldiers, government officials, civilians, and sailors. Included in the collection are many items from the Florence Stockade (prison camp for Union soldiers).
