Black Belt Birding Initiative

In celebration of Alabama Audubon’s Black Belt Birding Initiative, Magnolia Grove is thrilled to host “Birds in the Decorative Arts,” an exhibit curated by University of Alabama professor lan Crawford, in conjunction with the Alabama Historical Commission and Historic Magnolia Grove Foundation.

The 19th century showcased its love for nature, and birds in particular, in their material culture surroundings. From wallpaper and fabric to dinnerware and mantle decor, the exuberance and whimsy of birds were displayed across Victorian decorative arts.

Please join us this Friday, September 26th, from 5 pm to 7 pm for a closing reception with remarks by Mr. Crawford on the exhibit. Donations to the Historic Magnolia Grove Foundation are greatly appreciated.
