A Hub for History

Resource Center

Since 1966, Historic Tuscaloosa has preserved centuries of local history while documenting Tuscaloosa County’s unique role in the American story. As a leading historic preservation organization, we protect significant collections of artifacts, archival documents, and historic properties. Historic Tuscaloosa researches, generates, and shares knowledge about Tuscaloosa County history and its national significance. We also create engaging educational programs—including museum exhibits, guided tours, lectures, publications, and digital resources—to inform the public, encourage dialogue, and connect audiences with the people, places, and stories that shaped our community.

Preservation Explained

What is a Historic Resource?

A historic resource is a building, structure, object, or site significant for its association with important history, cultural heritage, or architectural design. These resources may be recognized individually or collectively as part of a designated Historic District. Buildings and sites that help illustrate the character, development, and significance of a historic district are considered contributing resources and play an essential role in preserving and interpreting the broader historical story for communities and visitors.
