Alabama Department of Archives and History


It's a treat just to see this tremendous historic building, directly across the street and to the south of the Alabama State Capitol building in Montgomery. It is the oldest state-funded archives in the United States, constructed in 1940. Inside you will find an extensive collection of portraits, memorbilia, documents and artifacts. There are museum galleries and genealogical research facilities, exhibits on early Alabama Indians, military and 19th century galleries to explore. Children will enjoy hands-on play and learning in "Grandma's Attic."
Open Daily except Sundays and major holidays. Free admission.
