So happy to announce that the Fort Mitchell Historic Site is now open for our regular schedule.
We are open on Fridays from 11 to 5, Saturdays from 10 to 5, and Sundays from 12 to 5. All times are Eastern time (EST). There is a new pioneer garden started by a wonderful group of master gardeners! Come and visit this very important historic spot and learn the role it played in Alabama settlement and Statehood. Also, the rich history of the Creek Indian Nation is all around us here.
See you soon!
