Tuscaloosa is rich in history from its settlement following the Creek War to its seat as the state capital. There are numerous standing antebellum homes which are often rented as venues for special occasions and photo shoots.
In addition, the city's importance in the Civil Rights Movement isn't as magnified as the involvement of other cities. Yet, there is a major historical significance and numerous buildings and landmarks which serve as reminders.
