Historic Village
A Walk Back In Time
The Arab Historic Village has become one of the most widely-toured historic destinations in the Southeast. Development of the Village began in 1991 with the opening of the Hunt School building that was moved from the Strawberry Community. Nestled just behind the Arab City Park, this Historical Complex showcases historic buildings that portray a North Central Alabama rural community of that time. All have been preserved with authentic furnishings and décor that date back to the 1880’s to 1940’s era.
