Mission Statement
The Birmingham Historical Museum & Park will explore meaningful connections with our past, in order to enrich our community and enhance its character and sustainability. Therefore, our mission is to promote understanding of Birmingham's historical and cultural legacy through preservation and interpretation of its ongoing story.
Description
The Birmingham Historical Museum & Park was established in May 2001 and includes the 1822 John West Hunter House and the 1928 Allen House. These historic structures are linked by a public plaza, the gateway to the four acre John West Hunter Historic Park, dedicated in September 2007. A short walk from downtown Birmingham, the museum is a must-see for out-of-town visitors and residents alike. The Allen House features changing exhibits about Birmingham and its heritage. The Hunter House reflects 19th century pioneer life in the settlement.
