Over the last seven years, a core group of dedicated residents has worked to restore the building, bring a vibrant past alive, and share its relevance and lessons learned to children and adults today through comprehensive programming.
The Ballard House Project, Inc. (BH Project), seeks to preserve Birmingham’s African-American historic legacy and places. The organization hosts workshops, exhibits, and special events that educate children and adults while promoting awareness, dialogue, and a diverse community connection to its heritage and culture.
Creating a cultural space & gardens with programming that honors the history of Birmingham’s African-American community from the early 1900’s, it strives to educate and inspire, enhance community identity, enrich dialogue and understanding, bridge areas of discord, and contribute to the cultural economy of Birmingham.
We welcome your interest, visit, and/or generous donation of an oral history or charitable donation to the mission of The Ballard House Project, Inc.
