 The James B. McMillan Building has been home to many departments, including Alabama Heritage. Ever since the University of Alabama was founded in 1831 it has served the community and the state in its pursuit of excellence and in the legacies of its many graduates. The James B. McMillan Building is a significant part of the University of Alabama and can be found on the northern Bryce Campus.

In 2021, Rebecca Todd Minder was named director of Alabama Heritage, and Dr. Susan E. Reynolds became the editor of Alabama Heritage magazine. In June, 2022, we welcomed Caroline Gazzara-McKenzie as our new marketing and digital media manager. Cindy Sanford, circulation manager, celebrated 22 years with the department.  In Decatur, the Wheeler National Wildlife Refuge hosts the Festival of the Cranes celebrating the migratory arrival of cranes to Alabama for the winter. The festival’s significance comes from when the sandhill cranes suddenly began showing up again in the 1990s after a century of being nearly eradicated. Prior to1992, Wheeler NWR recorded only eleven sandhill cranes, but in a matter of thirty years, as many as 14,000 sandhill cranes will visit the refuge this year, having arrived this past October and staying as late as March.
