The Alabama Constitution Village in Huntsville, Alabama is located at 109 Gates Avenue. There are costumed guides used to lead visitors to the facility on a tour around an 1805 to 1819 styled working village. There are eight buildings that have been reconstructed to show the lifestyle that was lived during the 1800's in Alabama. There are commemorates in place to show where the Constitutional Convention of 1819 was held. The state became the 22nd to be admitted to the Union on the 14th of December 1819.
The Constitution Hall is used to allow costumed interpreters to show the way that people lived during 1819. The Boardman complex, Clay building and Neal Residence also have costumed participants. The costumed participants at the facility carry out daily life the same way that it was done at the turn of the century.
There were forty-four delegates at the convention in the vacant cabinet shop on the 5th of July during 1819 to help in the organization of Alabama as the 22nd state. The facilities that make up the village include the law office of Clement Comer Clay, the post office, the office of the Federal Land Surveyor and the home of Sheriff Stephen Neal. All of these buildings are surrounding the cabinet shop.
