Review:
Once a thriving antebellum river town, Cahawba served as Alabama’s state capital from 1819 to 1826. The Old Cahawba Archaeological Park is an attempt to uncover much of what nature has covered so that visitors can get a glimpse of the area’s historic past.
The interpretive park has been worked on by archaeologists and historians over the years to create a true-to-life exhibit of what it was once like to live there. Start your visit at the Visitor Center to get an idea of what is there to see and the best routes to hike through while uncovering the park’s past.
In addition to the many structures and moss-covered ruins, you’ll also be able to roam abandoned streets and take in the stunning flora of Cahawba.
