Alabama’s oldest public building, the Weeden House was built in 1819 and was home to several early distinguished Huntsville residents. The home is a fine example of Federal architecture, displaying elaborate interior and exterior detailing. It displays the artwork of Maria Howard Weeden. It lies five blocks northeast of Big Springs Park.

This is a magical place to visit. The tour is so well worth the $5.00 and the entertainment is everlasting in your memory. So much unknown to the local people, it is visited by people from all over the world. The director gives the personal tour and leaves you feeling like you are part of the museum. She is very real and recites beautiful poetry in the dialect which leaves you smiling and sometimes with a tear in your eye. She also gives you extra history on the city of Huntsville, a beautiful place indeed. Everytime we come to the city, we always bring more guests and at the end we are sad to leave the Weeden House. We are hearing she might leave and it would be a sad day because she is a one-woman show and has blessed us for years. John and Carolyn Anders, Florida
