Reviews
"This is my favorite history tour in Huntsville. It combines history and art. The antebellum house is a gem of interesting preserved features that make you feel like you're stepping back in time. It was also fascinating to see the art and hear about the life of a forgotten Alabama female artist. I would say more, but I don't want to spoil the fun of finding out about her subjects and how she worked. Historian Gina led our tour with such enthusiasm, humor, and knowledge that we were sad it couldn't have lasted longer. I highly recommend this tour."
"The Howard Weeden house is one of the many homes in the Twickenham Historic District in Huntsville, ALABAMA."
"Gina James was amazing. My husband and I had the best time on our Weeden House tour. Gina was extremely knowledgeable, entertaining, and interacted with us, which we thought was great. Aside from our great tour guide, this home and its history is just fascinating. I highly recommend a tour."
"Great tour and interesting history of one of Huntsville's acclaimed artists. Tours available at 11am and 1pm."
"The historic home set within Huntsville oldest, beautiful neighborhood is worth a visit. Its most famous owner was one Howard Weeden who is most noted for her sensitive and impressive portraits of African Americans. The furnishings are not original, but there are some lovely antiques to admire. The tour guide's presentation could be a bit more sophisticated when speaking to adults, but don't let that stop you from stopping here for a tour. Note: Visitors must be able to climb stairs."
