House of Mobile the #1 museum for 2023. Africatown made
international headlines when the remains of the Clotilda slave ship
were discovered in the Mobile waters in 2019.
This 5,000-square-foot interpretive center will display pieces of
the Clotilda that have been recovered from the wreck and are on
loan from the Alabama Historical Commission. Along with the
pieces, the museum will also feature text panels, documents,
stories, and various artifacts and art detailing the lives of the 110
survivors aboard the vessel.
The Heritage House is a collaborative project between many
partners and the Alabama Historical Commission is honored to be
one of them.
The museum is scheduled to open July 8 - the same date the
survivors arrived in Mobile in 1860.
Named best museum for 2023!
