The Cahaba Foundation

The Cahaba Foundation Old Cahawba is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It is Alabama’s history in its most natural state and the birthplace of Alabama government.

The mission of the Cahaba Foundation is to secure private financial support from individuals, corporations and foundations for the state historic park at Old Cahawba, site of Alabama’s first state capital. Old Cahawba, at the confluence of the Cahaba and Alabama Rivers west of Selma, is one of the most important historically and biologically significant places in Alabama. The location has witnesse

d the confluences of cultures as well as rivers, and it harbors a 4,000-year history of multi-cultural inhabitants and settlements. Over 30 years ago, the Alabama Historical Commission established the park as a state historic site. State funding, however, has never been sufficient to acquire all the land at the site and to organize and interpret it fully for public access. To meet this challenge, in 2008 a group of community-minded citizens established The Cahaba Foundation, a 501(c)3 non-profit corporation, to generate funding from private sources.
