Alabama Constitution Village
About Alabama Constitution Village
Constitution Hall Park is an open-air museum in Huntsville, Alabama, that showcases life in 1819. It is a recreated site, found during an archaeological dig in the 1970's. The site has four buildings that were restored on their original foundations: Constitution Hall, the Clay building, the Boardman Complex, and the Neal House. The buildings include a blacksmith's shop, library, law office, print shop, land surveyor's office, post office, cabinetmaker's shop, and residence. It was added to the Alabama Register of Landmarks and Heritage on October 31, 1975.
On July 5, 1819, in the vacant cabinet shop, forty-four delegates came together to form the Constitutional convention to inaugurate Alabama as the twenty-second state. Alabama Constitution Hall Park is part of the Earlyworks Museums, along with the EarlyWorks Children's Museum.
