The mission of Landmarks Foundation is to preserve,
interpret and present Central Alabama's architecture,
history and culture.

Landmarks Foundation of Montgomery, a 501(c)3 non-profit corporation, was organized in 1967 for the purposes of fostering, encouraging, and leading the preservation movement in the City of Montgomery. Since that time the Foundation, acting as an administrative agency for the City of Montgomery, has developed Old Alabama Town and as an independent entity has worked in the community for restoration and preservation. Landmarks Foundation is committed to preserving the past for the good of the future. Landmarks has been a major force in the restoration of historic structures and continues to be actively involved in saving buildings and revitalizing Montgomery's inner city.

With the purchase of the Ordeman House and its dependencies, Landmarks and the City of Montgomery began a unique partnership that has resulted in the restoration and interpretation of over 50 authentically restored 19th and early 20th century structures stretching along six blocks in downtown Montgomery. Through its historic village, Old Alabama Town, guests are welcome to tour the Southeast's most unique outdoor museum. Authentically restored and furnished buildings reflect the lives of the people who settled and developed Central Alabama over 100 years ago.

Preservation activities in Old Alabama Town are only one facet of the Landmarks Foundation’s focus. Tourism is an important factor with the site open for interpretive tours Monday – Saturday. Closed on Sundays and major holidays; Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years. Educational programs for adults and youth are primary components of the Foundation's Mission, and interpreters vividly convey Alabama’s 19th and early 20th century history to over 40,000 students annually through on-site and outreach activities.
