Fendall Hall Fendall Hall is Alabama's most outstanding Italianate house museum. Open for tours! The five-acre site includes gardens and archaeological features.

Fendall Hall is one of Alabama's outstanding Italianate houses and contains elaborate and rare interior decorative painting dating from the 1880s. Completed in 1860 by Edward and Anna Young, it was home to five generations of the Young family. Among its many treasures are family and period furnishings, marble mantles, and a black and white marble tiled entry. Fendall Hall was built by Edward Young, one of Eufaula's leading citizens, around 1860. After serving as home for five generations of Youngs and their descendants, the house is now open to the public. It was purchased by the Alabama Historical Commission (AHC) in 1973 for preservation as a house museum. It is restored and interpreted to the 1880-1916 occupancy of the home.

Today's artifact Friday comes from Fendall Hall !! This fire screen at Fendall Hall was hand-sewn by Katherine Louise Dent Hurt, daughter of Capt. Stouten Hubert Dent and Anna Beall Young Dent.

Victorian fire screens were used to protect occupants in the room from excessive heat from the open hearths and to shield clothing and fabrics from possible embers. The screen would also cover the fireplace to make the room more presentable when not in use. Many of these screens were hand-embroidered, painted, or wood-carved.

Fendall Hall will be closed on Friday, August 21, 2026, as we welcome Auburn University's new Architectural Virtual Library team.

The Architecture Virtual Library is traveling across Alabama to 3D scan historic buildings, creating digital models that will help preserve and showcase our state’s architectural heritage for generations to come.

This exciting project is being completed in partnership with Main Street Alabama and is supported by a grant awarded by the Alabama Historical Commission.

We are thrilled that Fendall Hall was selected to be part of this important preservation project.

Thank you for your understanding as we take part in preserving Fendall Hall- and Alabama's architectural history- in a whole new way!

What a fantastic two days at our Patterns & Puzzles Day Camp! 🧩✨

Our group of eight campers stayed busy putting their creativity and problem-solving skills to work through hands-on activities and challenges. They designed colorful string art, hammered nails like pros, tackled fun math activities, cooked delicious treats, raced through laser maze games, and explored the house with scavenger hunts.

It was wonderful to watch their confidence grow as they worked together, tried new skills, and discovered that learning can be both creative and fun!

Thank you to our amazing campers for making these two days such a success. Thank you also to Jill Wachs with Barbour County 4-H and volunteers Jessie and Bill Brown. We loved spending time with each of you and hope to see you back at Fendall Hall for another adventure soon! ❤️
