Alabama Voices exhibits the dramatic unfolding of Alabama history from the dawn of the 1700s to the beginning of the 21st century.

In the Hands-On-Gallery and Grandma’s Attic, families and children can dress in period costumes, play with toys from bygone eras, make their own crafts, listen to stories, and much more.
