Historic Sites and Homes

Voices from years long gone echo among the gleaming hardwood floors, stately Corinthian columns and ornate furnishings of Alabama's grand homes.

In the Gulf Coast region, discover Mobile's well-preserved homes, from the Italianate style of the Richards-DAR House to the Creole cottage-style farmhouse of the Carlen House Museum.

Looking for a different angle? Head to Clayton in the River Heritage region and visit the Octagon House – the only antebellum example of octagon-style architecture remaining in the state.

In Tuskegee, pay tribute to Booker T. Washington and Tuskegee University at The Oaks. The 1899 home was built by students and faculty with bricks made by the students.

Walk in the steps of courage at Ivy Green in Tuscumbia. Built in 1820, the birthplace of Helen Keller hosts The Miracle Worker each summer to retell her remarkable story.

Alabama's grand homes have many stories to tell. Take time to listen.
