They offer guided tours for groups of 10 or more. Lots of school groups tour during the school year. Prices are reasonable. Individuals can do a self-guided tour for $10 person. Buildings are from 1800-1899, some have actors inside to describe the surroundings. Wonderful tours!

Owner description:
Get a taste of what life was like in 19th-century Montgomery, where three blocks of historic houses show how people lived in that era. You'll see barns, a one-room schoolhouse, a church, cotton gin and the striking contrast of rich versus poor - from mansions to a tiny house lined with newspaper for insulation.

I visited the museum with my son's school group. We were divided up, children in a group and adults in a group. Our tour was a guided one with a very knowledgable and fun docent. The buildings on the museum property are 19th and 20th century structures that were moved and carefully restored to build an Old Alabama Town. Two...

We went to Old Alabama Town on a field trip yesterday. The attraction is very nice and it does capture some history of Alabama. I also understand that the guides have to be quick, organized,and assertive. The guides were very timely, but not very organized. The actors were great, especially the school teacher. It is $5.00 per student and $8:00...

However, what we found was interesting for all ages. The recreation of a town of the mid 1880 was a very interesting trip through history and if are in...
