"Antebellum Townhouse LIving," The elegant Ordeman townhouse shows the fascinating story of city life in the1800s. Built in 1850, this Italianate house has three floors filled with period antiques. Behind the house are the original kitchen and slave quarters. Other buildings include a laundry, necessaries, tool storage, carriage house and an 1840 barn. The Ordeman Townhouse has been open as a house museum on its original site since 1971.

"Living in the 19th Century," Each authentic building in Landmarks’ historic village creates its own unique image of the past. Learn about early pioneer settlements while exploring Lucas Tavern, the oldest structure on site. It was originally located on the historic Federal Road and was the resting stop on April 2, 1825 for the Marquis de LaFayette while he was touring the southeast. Visit the 1820 Log Cabin and the adjacent Pole barn. The log home is filled with the furnishings and fixtures essential to the daily life of a 19th century pioneer settlement. Educational interpreters vividly convey Central Alabama’s past as they lead you through the Corner Grocery Store, Schoolhouse, Country Doctor’s Office, Shotgun, Carriage House and the Cleveland Avenue Presbyterian Church.

"Working in the 19th Century," The Old Alabama Town Working Block offers visitors the opportunity to see how the people of Alabama earned their living in both the rural and urban communities. An educational interpreter will take you back to the days of our Blacksmiths, Cotton Gins, and Grist Mills. You will also visit the Drug Store and the Print Shop and see authentic craft demonstrations when available. The unique outdoor history museum is a place where people of all ages have fun learning about Central Alabama’s history, architecture and lifestyle.
