Open Daily 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Near Selma, Alabama Cahawba was once Alabama's state capital (1820-1826) and a thriving antebellum river town. It became a ghost town shortly after the Civil War. Today it is an important archaeological site and a place of picturesque ruins. Nature has reclaimed much of Old Cahawba, but historians and archaeologists from the Alabama Historical Commission are working hard to uncover Cahawba's historic past and to create a full time interpretive park.

Kenan's Mill was built in the mid 1800's and produced water-ground meal, grits and corn for over 100 years.  The grounds also include a fascinating 19th Century brick charcoal kiln.  Kenan's Mill was built and continuously owned by the Kenan family until Elizabeth Kenan Buchanan donated it to the Historic Society in 1997.  Restoration is ongoing, and the mill is currently operating during special events.
