HISTORY MUSEUM OF MOBILE

In March of 2020, the History Museum of Mobile announced a partnership with the Mobile County Commission, the City of Mobile, the Alabama Historical Commission, and community leaders in Africatown to create a landmark exhibition at the under-construction Africatown Heritage House. Clotilda: The Exhibition tells the story of the people aboard the last slave ship to the United States. The pieces of the Clotilda that have been recovered from the shipwreck are on display in the exhibition, on loan from the Alabama Historical Commission. The exhibition was curated, developed, and designed in conjunction with the local community and the wider descendent community, and in consultation with experts around the country. History Museum of Mobile operates Africatown Heritage House as a fourth museum site.
