The University of Alabama Museums’ Tuscaloosa Bicentennial Exhibit Series showcases the history of the city learned from the archaeological excavations of the Bank of the State site in downtown Tuscaloosa where the Embassy Suites Hotel stands. The exhibition, Tuscaloosa and the Capital Period, highlights the early history of Tuscaloosa and is the first installment of the series. Experience the histories of the people who lived on this notable block and view the artifacts recovered from the excavations.

The exhibit will be open from November 15, 2018 through May 18, 2019.

The Tuscaloosa Bicentennial Exhibit Series is brought to you through a collaborative partnership of UA Museums’ units:
