Info: Old Cahawba’s three cemeteries tell many stories. Imposing monuments of antebellum elite, plain memorial stones of Union army prisoners of war, and unmarked resting places of African-Americans all speak to the rich diversity Alabama’s early state capitol. This tour will visit cemeteries and explore the personal sagas of many of those who lived here before joining the community of perpetual residents.
