Constitution Village in northeast Alabama will be getting a major facelift soon.
Supporters of the attraction in Huntsville are planning the extensive renovation project as the city prepares for Alabama’s Bicentennial celebration in 2019.
Huntsville Mayor Tommy Battle referred to the project as a rare opportunity to celebrate Huntsville’s importance to the state of Alabama and to the nation.
Alabama’s Constitution Village is a reconstruction of five historic buildings and outbuildings that once stood in downtown Huntsville. The original two-story cabinet shop, whose replica in the village is now known as Constitutional Hall, was the meeting place for the 44 delegates who organized Alabama's entry into statehood in 1819.
