The Beginning
In 1998, Councilman Ben Reed and a group of interested individuals formed the Alabama City Historical Association and leased the old Alabama City fire station from the City of Gadsden to be used for meetings and for forming a museum.
The purpose of such a club was for collecting, maintaining and preserving the history of Alabama City and its people.
Membership is open to any interested individual who takes on the same interests as the club. Although there are no monetary dues, members are asked for their time. The club meets the second Tuesday of every month.
Tours and field trips are welcome by appointment. For more information, contact Ben Reed (256-546-4762 or Julie Payne 256-546-7720).
