Old Cahawba, Alabama

Old Cahawba was once Alabama’s first state capital before it was abandoned due to flooding and economic hardship. Today, the site is an archaeological park filled with ruins, brick columns, and traces of antebellum homes. Walking the grounds reveals layers of Southern history — from the Civil War to Reconstruction. For those exploring U.S. heritage sites, Old Cahawba offers a haunting and historic journey through the Deep South.
