Black Heritage Tours

Throughout the month of February, Old Alabama Town is offering Black Heritage Tours to honor the great sacrifices and struggles endured by Alabama's early African-Americans. Included among the 48 structures on site at the 19th century village are three of particular importance to African-American history: an 1850s slave quarter where domestic servants lived while serving the upper-middle-class residents of the antebellum Ordeman House, an 1880s shotgun style house typical of the housing available to former slaves following the Civil War, and an 1885 chapel which housed the First Presbyterian Colored Church of Montgomery. Individual self-guided tours are available Monday-Saturday, 9 a.m. to 3p.m. Guided tours are available for groups of 10 or more by advanced reservation only.
