About Us

Arlington Antebellum House and Gardens on six acres of landscaped gardens is located near downtown Birmingham, Alabama. The two-story 1840s frame structure features Greek Revival architecture. The house serves as a decorative arts museum, featuring a collection of 19th century furniture, textiles, silver and paintings. The garden features a restored garden room that is used for special events. The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on December 2, 1970.

As a public health precaution and with the support of the board, Arlington Historic House is closed, as of March 16, 2020.  Out of an abundance of caution, the venue will cancel all public events, programming and gatherings until further notice. This is all due to concerns related to the possible spread of COVID-19. 

We will continue to monitor and assess all developments with the health and safety of our staff, volunteers, and visitors. Please visit our calendar of events for the latest updates. Please also consider visiting the City of Birmingham’s website for city updates atwww.birminghamal.gov/coronavirus.

We appreciate you understanding this adjustment during this time.
