OUR PROPERTIES
Historic Tuscaloosa operates and maintains five historical landmarks across the city of Tuscaloosa. We help to preserve the history of our city and county through using these structures as doorways into the past. We interact with the Tuscaloosa community and visiting tourists by using our structures to conduct daily tours, school field trips, and community projects. It is our goal that when guests enter a Historic Tuscaloosa structure, that they are transported by to its original time period, whether that is the 1820's of the Old Tavern, the 1860's of the Jemison-Van de Graaff Mansion, or the early 1900's of the Murphy-Collins House.
