Learn stories of treasure in Alabama’s past!

Join Alabama historian Jim Phillips for a fascinating talk featuring stories of found, and some still lost, treasure from the early days of our state. Covering such true accounts as the found “Tuscaloosa Hoard” of gold and silver antebellum coins, the lost Baldwin County Henry Nunez treasure, the Whitfield Plantation hoard, the missing early-1700s 5 ft. tall gold cross of French-occupied Dauphin Island, and other amazing true stories, the talk will also feature Mr. Phillips’ exhibit of excavated antebellum coins, pirate artifacts, Civil War relics, and other items from the 1800s. This talk is made possible in partnership with Deep South Genealogical Society.
