Located in the area where the Alabama constitution was written in 1819, it's a good slice of life in the early 1800's. Our tour guides were very nice and knowledgeable and we very much enjoyed our visit.

A good reconstruction of the way things used to be. Very good for out of town visitors and great for kids, especially at Christmas when the decorations are up.

Unfortunately, like some other attractions in Huntsville, the Village is closed in January and February, so we could only get a glimpse of it from the street.

I have visited here several times from when I was a young student to when my children went on their field trips. I have always enjoyed visiting here.

We visited here in the early spring. The air was crisp. The actors who petrayed the villagers were wonderful with the children. They told of the history in early Alabama. The woodwrights shop was great. The children made the paper hats to wear. The lady showed us the tiny bugs to make red dye for the clothes. How interesting to... More

The Alabama Constitution Village is very well done and we enjoyed our visit. The best part was in the wood worker's shop because there was a live person in there. She was VERY knowledgeable and interesting and we enjoyed learning from her and talking with her. The rest of the buildings were like any other historic site and we would... More

In the center of the hi-tech, rocket fueled, sprawling city of Huntsville, AL lies the Alabama Constitution Village. Laid out on the site where the first European settlers laid out the laws of the new state of Alabama, this living history museum provides a great way to learn about the origins of the state and what life was like in...

I took the Breakfast Trolley Tour on June 23, 2012, and found it to be an outstanding and fun way to learn Huntsville history! The trolley was unique, charming, and added incredible ambiance. It was much more fun than a run-of-the-mill bus, and early in the morning, it was great to drop down the windows and enjoy the air before... More
