Huntsville History Month

Throughout October

Celebrate the past, in the city that's building the future

Huntsville doesn’t just have space – it has history, as well. The birthplace of the U.S. space program, the beginning of Alabama's statehood, and home to stunning, historic Southern architecture, Huntsville's past has quite a story to tell. That history will be celebrated throughout the entire month of October as part of Huntsville History Month, a celebration of events that focus on Huntsville’s heritage.

Take a step back in time through activities like Huntsville Ghost Walks, a Boos Cruise with the Rocket City Rover, self-guided tours through Huntsville's historic districts, and much more.

Follow all October long as we break down some Huntsville history!
