Participants can visit each of Historic Tuscaloosa’s featured properties:

• The Old Tavern (500 Nick’s Kids Avenue)

“This event is the perfect opportunity for those who have never visited our historic properties—or for anyone looking for a beautiful, festive backdrop for Christmas photos,” Historic Tuscaloosa Executive Director William Hawkins said. “It’s a wonderful way to bring the community together, celebrate the season, and share the stories that make Tuscaloosa so special.”

While admission is free, donations are encouraged to support Historic Tuscaloosa’s preservation and education efforts.
