Since 1966, the Tuscaloosa County Preservation Society has been preserving and promoting Tuscaloosa County's historic resources. A non-profit organization, the Society's mission is to develop an awareness and appreciation of the historical and cultural heritage of our community. Our Society has enjoyed steady growth over the years and is recognized as one of the strongest preservation groups in the Southeast. The Society operates and maintains five historical landmarks: the Old Tavern, the Battle-Friedman House, the Jemison-Van de Graaff Mansion, the McGuire-Strickland House, and the Murphy African-American Museum. In keeping with its mission, the Society strives to offer its members and the public a comprehensive view of each property's architecture, interiors, landscapes and social history. Our members are what keep the Preservation Society alive. Members help run our society through a recommendation board and donate their time and efforts to help us preserve our historical sites. Our members enjoy free tours of all Society structures, free admission to lectures, and premier access to Society sponsored events, such as our annual homes tours, fundraisers, member-only parties, and our yearly Ramble trip. We would love to have you as a member of the Tuscaloosa County Preservation Society! The Society's central office is located in the local Jemison-Van de Graaff Mansion at 1305 Greensboro Ave, Tuscaloosa. For more information, call (205) 758-2238 or visit www.HistoricTuscaloosa.org.
