Learn more about Down the Bay History!

Children who grew up Down the Bay, the area south of Government Street, have fond memories of the neighborhood. Learn more about growing up in the community through oral history interviews from the Down the Bay Oral History Project and artifacts from the I-10 Mobile River Bridge Archaeology Project and consider how childhood has (and hasn’t) changed through time. This exhibit was created by undergraduate students in the Museum Methods in Archaeology Course at the University of South Alabama.
