Capitol Park At one point, the city of Tuscaloosa served as the Alabama capital. From 1826-1846, Tuscaloosa boasted a picturesque capitol building. The building was built in the Greek revival style, complete with three wings and an expansive rotunda. The building was only used as the Capitol Building for a few decades and was later leased and used by Alabama Central Female College. However, in 1923 the building was burned to the ground during a fire which was started by routine maintenance repairs gone wrong. Today, the site of the ruins is known as Capitol Park and can be found on Sixth Street. The statuesque ruins create a haunting-yetcaptivating scene and are ideal for peaceful observation. Paul R. Jones Museum Also located on Sixth Street, this local museum houses the Paul R. Jones collection. The collection is composed of more than 1700 pieces of African American art, and is said to be one of the largest collections of African American art in the world. The collection is special partly because of its mix of art by both well and lesser known artists. The museum frequently collaborates with local elementary schools, striving to teach students about the importance of art in an exciting and educational environment. Paul R. Jones Museum frequently presents exhibitions to the public, showcasing artwork that celebrates black culture and artistic achievement. The museum is open to the public weekdays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. The Murphy-Collins House/Museum This quaint two-story green home is located on Bryant Drive and serves as a historic relic frozen in time, as well as a museum of African-American history. According to the Tuscaloosa County Preservation Society, the home was built in the 1920s by Tuscaloosa’s first black mortician Will J. Murphy. The home was built using brick and included other materials salvaged from The Old Capitol Building remains. The museum, although small, includes a surplus of artifacts and materials to help one gain insight into the past. The museum is open to the public Tuesday- Friday, 10a.m- 3p.m. Old Tavern Museum Originally built in 1827, this building originally served as an inn and tavern and was located on a stagecoach route which passed through Tuscaloosa. One of the oldest hotels in the state, the inn served as a resting place for soldiers, politicians, and other important folks. The inn was occupied as a private residence by several different families until it was restored in 1964 and later opened as a museum. Located near the ruins of Capitol Park, Old Tavern museum is a quintessential part of the history of Tuscaloosa. Old Tavern Museum is open daily for guided tours Tuesday- Saturday at 10:30 A.M. The town of Tuscaloosa is shaped by the stories of its people and it’s land. Visiting local museums and historic landmarks can be sacred, almost like stepping back in time. History is sometimes wonderful and sometimes horrible, but all stories are worth recognizing in reverence of those who came before us. Every town has a story, and Tuscaloosa’s story is one worth knowing! 90 <strong>Alice</strong> Spring 2019
Jamison-Van de Graaf Mansion On Greensboro Avenue stands a local mansion which is open to the public and has interesting historic importance. The Italianate home is one of few homes still standing in the state of Alabama which was built prior to the Civil War. The 26-room mansion includes elaborate architecture, was commissioned for local political and businessman Robert Jemison Jr. in 1859. The home was designed by Samuel Sloan, who also designed Alabama State Hospital for the Insane (Bryce Hospital). The mansion served as a public library from 1955-79 but is now open to the public for tours, weddings, and other events. The elaborate home is a Tuscaloosa time machine of sorts and is open for free tours every weekday at 1:30 p.m.
