Alabama Town, the South’s premier history village, welcomes
you to 2004.
The South’s premier history village.
Old Alabama Town is a collection of authentically restored 19th
and 20th century structures. A magnificent setting, it stretches
along six blocks in the heart of historic downtown Montgomery, Alabama.
Step back in time and experience over 100 years of history as you
embark on a journey where you will see meticulously restored and
furnished buildings reflecting the lives of the people who settled
and developed Central Alabama. Each building creates its own distinctive
image of living and working in Alabama’s past. You will see
a cross-section of the way life was from the elegant townhouse lifestyle
to rural pioneer living.
Landmarks Foundation of Montgomery,
a non-profit corporation develops and administers Old Alabama Town.
Landmarks came into being in 1967 for the purpose of fostering,
encouraging and leading the preservation movement in the area. With
the purchase of the 1850s Ordeman Townhouse and its dependencies
in 1968, Landmarks has acquired and restored over forty buildings
and is committed to preserving the past for the good of the future.
Today Old Alabama Town continues to grow and is a place where people
of all ages have fun learning about history, architecture and lifestyles.
Old Alabama Town is more than just a tour…
it is an experience in history.
