Sweet Home: Alabama's History in Maps on display at Wallace State The Evelyn Burrow Museum, in conjunction with the Alabama 200 bicentennial celebration, is exhibiting a collection of maps of the state documenting its changes before and after statehood was established. On loan from the Birmingham
Public Library, “Sweet Home: Alabama’s History in Maps” will be on display through at least Feb. 28. The exhibit is located in the exhibit hall of the Burrow Center for the Fine and Performing Arts at Wallace State Community College. The exhibit hall is open Monday through Friday during the college’s regular business hours and from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday during museum business hours.
The map “La Florida” originally appeared in the 1584 edition of Abraham Ortelius’s atlas “Theatrum Orbis Terrarum.” This map is from the 1591 edition. It is the first published map of the area that would become the southeastern United States. A village that would later go by the name Tuscaloosa is located in the area that is present-day Alabama.
