A Very Special 1901 Black Business District Walking Tour


Listen Later

In this second-of-its-kind episode, we're doing something a little different: an audio walking tour through the northern part of downtown Huntsville, Alabama, set in the year 1901.  We'll be exploring the Historic Black Business District and discussing the people, shops, churches, and transportation as you'd have seen it over a 120 years ago.  Complete with background sound effects, this tour starts at the corner of Jefferson and Clinton and is paced such that you can follow along the 0.6 mile route on foot or listen along from the comfort of your couch.
