2019 Spring Walking Tour: Avondale - 41st and Beyond

Each Spring, Vulcan Park and Museum hosts a series of Walking Tours which highlight various areas of Birmingham. These tours provide an invigorating way to experience the history and architectural beauty of Birmingham’s neighborhoods and districts. Participants are invited to step into the shoes of the architects, visionaries, socialites and entrepreneurs who sparked the magic in the Magic City.

Join us in Avondale on May 4 for the final walking tour. Explore one of Birmingham’s hottest real estate markets, as one of the city’s oldest residential areas adapts to a recent renaissance in the adjacent commercial core. We’ll look back at Avondale’s early history as a company town and look ahead at plans to redesign 41st St, the heart of the commercial district.

Dive into the rich history and culture of this once company town now a hub for innovative restaurants, burgeoning breweries, and entertaining cultural festivals. From historic homes to new developments, Avondale has become one of the fastest growing towns in Birmingham with plenty to boast.
