Guests can walk the streets of Blakeley, which was founded in 1814 and during Alabama’s first decade of statehood ranked as one of its largest towns. Along the way, they will learn about Blakeley’s founders and residents, the reasons for its rise and decline, and its enduring legends. The tour includes visits to the ruins of Baldwin County’s first courthouse, historic Washington Square and the Blakeley Harbor on the Tensaw River, where ocean-going vessels once docked and some of the earliest steamboats in the state of Alabama were built.
