Alabama is fortunate to have an educational institution in Montevallo that educates families, students, and visitors alike on the history of this country. Its mission is to inspire citizens and future leaders by bringing our history alive through settings and programs especially aimed toward young people. On 183 acres, they recreate the drama of American independence through costumed historical interpreters and replicas of The White House Oval Office, Washington Hall, Concord Bridge, and a colonial chapel.
