Historical museums deliver extraordinary information about Alabama’s past, and are increasingly sophisticated as well as important attractions that draw visitors who want to be entertained and educated in the state's history.  To recognize exceptional achievement by museums in promulgating state or local history, the Alabama Historical Association has initiated this Historical Museum Award.

​

The next award will be given in 2026.
