The Wallace House on the National Register of Historic Places

After years of hard work, the Wallace Center is now listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The National Register of Historic Places is the official list of the Nation's historic places worthy of preservation. Authorized by the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, the National Park Service's National Register of Historic Places is part of a national program to coordinate and support public and private efforts to identify, evaluate, and protect America's historic and archeological resources.

The Wallace House's inclusion on the National Register affirms the Wallace Center's mission of preserving the truth about enslavement and charting a path towards racial reconciliation. The placement is key in confronting the past and fostering public dialogue and healing.

Many, many thanks to people who worked diligently to make this happen, including Nell Gottlieb (Wallace Center co-founder & board member), Patricia Bell (Wallace Center supporter), Bill Calloway (Wallace Center supporter), Alice Bowsher (Wallace Center supporter), and Christy Anderson (Alabama Historical Commission).

Cheers!
