Interpretation Feedback Provided July 3

Georgette Norman facilitates a group on July 30

On Saturday, July 30, 2023, over 40 persons, including local descendants and other stakeholders, came to the Wallace House to provide feedback on how to interpret the complicated history and legacy of the house and what the grounds should look like. Georgette Norman (founding director of the Rosa Parks Museum and storyteller), Elijah Gaddis (historian from Auburn), Tyler Jones (film maker), and Wayne Hester (architect) spoke before participants joined discussion groups to provide specific feedback to the plans presented. Their input will be valuable as we continue development of the site plan and interpretation. Funding for this program was provided by the Alabama Humanities Alliance.
