Old Cahawba Hosts Walking Tour of Historic Cemeteries 

(Montgomery, AL) On Saturday, October 17, 10:00am – 11:00 am, Old Cahawba, a historic property of the Alabama Historical Commission will host a “Cemetery Walking Tour” of Old Cahawba.  

Old Cahawba’s historic cemeteries provide an opportunity for a deeper understanding of the richly layered history surrounding the events that occurred at the site of Alabama’s first permanent state capital. This one-hour guided tour will visit one of Cahawba’s historic cemeteries and explore the personal sagas of many of those who lived there before joining its community of perpetual residents. Many graves date to pre-Civil War era Cahawba.

The cemeteries at Old Cahawba have undergone a multi-year preservation effort in partnership with The University of Alabama Office of Archaeological Research. Work has included repair and reassembly of damaged tombstones and cleaning markers.

Tickets are $8 each and available at the Old Cahawba Visitors’ Center. Guests should meet at the visitors’ center, rain or shine, on the day of the event.

To accommodate social distancing, the tour is allotted for a maximum of 15 participants. Interested parties are encouraged to pre-purchase their tickets in advance of the event. Tickets may be purchased by calling 334-872-8058. Old Cahawba accepts all major credit cards. 

Per Governor Ivey’s Safer at Home guidelines, Old Cahawba will require all persons not from the same household to maintain six (6) feet of distance between individuals.

Old Cahawba lies at the confluence of the Alabama and Cahaba Rivers, and from 1819 to 1826 it served as Alabama’s first capital. From downtown Selma, take Highway 22 (Dallas Avenue) west 8.6 miles.
