Historic sites of Wetumpka highlighted during annual Fall Pilgrimage

The City of Wetumpka will host the 61st annual Alabama Historical Association Fall Pilgrimage on Oct. 11-12. Created by the Wetumpka AL200 Celebration Committee, along with its partners – Main Street Wetumpka, the Elmore County Black Heritage Association, the Elmore County Commission and the City of Wetumpka – visitors and residents have the opportunity to embark on a cultural and educational journey through iconic sights in the area. 

Fall pilgrimages began in 1958 at the City of Cahawba, Alabama’s first state capitol. These excursions focus on cities and towns across Alabama that hold sites of historical interest. The event involves tours of historic homes, churches and other noteworthy sites around the host cities. It is exciting to have the City of Natural Beauty make the list, giving us an opportunity to tour places that are not normally open to the public.
