Have you visited American Village yet?

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.

This anniversary year will be especially important for the venue as American Village prepares to help celebrate America’s 250th birthday. The official event for the State of Alabama is being organized by the America 250 Alabama Commission but the centerpiece of Alabama’s celebration will be held at American Village in Montevallo over two unforgettable days.

Who were the signers of the Declaration of Independence?

As we approach the 250th birthday of our nation, it’s hard to imagine what was going through the minds of those who will sign the Declaration of Independence. See their images, read their biographies, and try to visualize what their struggles were as they navigated loyalty to their homeland versus independence in their chosen new country.
