The Fall 2019 issue of Alabama Heritage magazine is a special collector’s edition that commemorates Alabama becoming a state 200 years ago. This expanded issue is twice the length of a regular issue with articles by state historians and award-winning authors. The Fall issue is a companion piece to the Summer 2017 issue that highlighted Alabama becoming a territory, both of which were published in conjunction with the Alabama 200 three-year-long celebration.
Features include:
A special supplement, also authored by Robert Gamble and photographed in large part by Robin McDonald, is a roster of Alabama’s oldest-known standing buildings. Also included is an album of structures lost throughout the years.
