I parked next to the First White House of the Confederacy for my visit to the Alabama State Capitol building. Entry to the First White House is free. I was greeted by a woman who gave me a self-guided tour book. She offered to answer any questions and told me that photography without a flash was permitted throughout the site. Surprisingly, I was able to take several pictures with my camera secured to a tripod. I found the site to be interesting and worth a short visit since I was already there by the Capitol.
When I took the tour a lot of the furniture and rooms were roped off so you really couldn't get that close to stuff. In addition, it just looked like a regular house with big furniture.
Pretty boring house with not an awful lot to see, it's a nice property outside, just wasn't enthralled with the contents.
While this is a wonderful example of Civil War history, it's jut too bad that they had to move it from its original location. Still a great place to visit and well restored to its glory.
A nice old house with some interesting artefacts and history but nothing very special. A warm welcome though.
Not the original site but still of interest and significance.Perhaps assumed more knowledge of the times and issues of the day than it should, but well curated for all that.
Overnight stay in Montgomery Alabama. Decided to take time out for a few attractions. This being 1 of them. Very interesting as part of history. Self guided, so not able to ask questions but it, for the most part, is definitely about the past history. Nice stop. Free admission also but don't go between 12 to 1. Closed for Lunch!
We happened to be in downtown Montgomery passing through and decided to stop in to visit. The last time my wife and I had been here was in our youth. It was a good visit. Not the largest number of artifacts, but they were authentic. Great place to stop and learn about the South. The consiarage was very friendly and knew much of the history of the house and Montgomery.
Located by the State Capitol, took a self guided tour. Kind of dark but we could still see the room s with their original furnishings and some clothing. Also had a small gift shop. Would recommend to any history buff like me. I like the fact that so many historical buildings and sites are close. I was able to walk many of them in a day
As others have stated, it was amazing how much of the Davis' furniture and belongings they have accumulated for display. Gave a great idea of what the house was like when they lived there. A lot of information on that time period in US history. No charge, but donations are welcome. Located next to the museum and across from the State Capitol. Self guide books were available to each person in our group. Closes for lunch between 12:00-1:00.
