The American Village - Tourist attraction in Montevallo - 3727 Highway 119 S, USA

What a great place to learn about American History! Our group went for the Independence Tour. We will be returning for the other tours that are offered.

A place with a lot of fun. Definitely love that movie—staff told us that they shot it during Covid 90% inside the Village!

Enjoyed American Village on Memorial Day. Many events scheduled for all ages. Museums open. Enactors knowledgeable & informative about life of the soldier, the patriotism displayed by Americans throughout history, early American family life, chores, games & museums focused on founding fathers. Well worth a visit! opportunity of educational resources for students ample.

Awesome history experience! I loved the reenactments and historic costumes. Lots of buildings to visit which take you to another time and place. My favorites were the Gathering Tree and the Oval Office. The grounds are beautiful and were a nice walk. There is a small fee, which Im sure supports the staff and upkeep. I wish i had arrived when they opened because we missed some of the reenactments. There are restrooms throughout the grounds.

It was $5 per person to get in for the fireworks show. We showed up at about 6:30pm. It was so much fun seeing the fireworks show. My toddler loved seeing the fireworks. We enjoyed walking around the grounds before the show. We walked into the Veterans memorial building, it's very beautiful inside and a nice tribute for the men and women who have lost their lives for our country. It was fun seeing actors in their costumes in the village. There is a replica of the liberty bell and Independence Hall. For the 4th of July show they had food trucks which we purchased the lemonade and fire roasted corn on the cob. Most of the food trucks had QR codes you could use to make your purchases which was helpful as we don't usually carry cash. The gift shop is cute with some books, memorabilia and wooden toys. We purchased a wooden helicopter for our toddler for $6 which I thought was a great price for the size of the toy. We would love to go in the fall and see the sights and learn about the 1700s and not have the crowds.

Incredible atmosphere created by dedicated role players and top notch grounds. If your kids have an interest in history, or you want to ignite a spark, take them here. Holidays are even better with a plethora of food trucks and programming. A drive though the adjacent Alabama National Cemetery will add an even deeper narrative of patriotism.

4.5 ⭐️ It was good! I've been to other historical villages, and it wasn't quite as good as those. The buildings and grounds were beautiful, and the accurate period clothing and lingo impressive. We did enjoy the colonial games and ended up buying a trap ball game in the gift store.

Such an amazing center that gets us to think what our life will be like in the 18th century! I’m able to see the specific challenges and struggles of various different social groups at the historical time period. I love the 10:30am session where clothing in 18th century was discussed, 11am session where medicinal herbs was taught, 11:30am session where continual Army was acted out, and 12:30pm Liberty was discussed in Massachusetts. Bravo to all these characters! Their professionalism allowed me to fully immerse myself in the scenarios, and I’m very grateful and happy about this experience.
