Pioneer Museum of Alabama

Troy, Alabama

Culture, History, Historic House

In 1971, Curren and Margaret Farmer incorporated their passion for knowledge and history into the most extensive collection of early American artifacts in the state of Alabama. When they founded the Pioneer Museum of Alabama, they sparked a fire that would burn fiercely for decades to come. It is our understanding that in order to fully appreciate the convenience and ease with which we live our lives today, one must learn about the lives and tools of the early settlers of the Alabama Territory. The Pioneer Museum of Alabama has dedicated itself to preserving these priceless windows of the past. They are essential to the educational experience museum patrons benefit from.

Prattaugan Museum - Autauga County Heritage Center

Prattville, Alabama

Culture, General, History, Historic House, Historical Society, Military

The Heritage Association was born out of a sense of collective guilt some time after the Daniel Pratt mansion was leveled. After more than a decade of regret at having lost forever one of our most treasured of historic homes, the Prattville Study Club, then a group of 50 women, initiated the establishment of a county historical society. In 1976, our nation’s bi-centennial year, the Autauga County Heritage Association’s first president, Evelyn Striplin, was elected from among the 309 charter members of the association.
