Temporary Visitor Center Opens | Birmingham News
Description
The Birmingham Civil Rights National Monument is temporarily relocating its visitor center to the Birmingham Civil Rights Institute starting August 19th, while renovations continue at the historic A.G. Gaston Motel—open Wednesdays through Fridays, 10 AM to 4 PM. Though the main motel visitor center closed in May for upgrades, its iconic 1968 wing and coffee shop remain open. The $12 million renovation will enhance accessibility, expand exhibits, and recreate key spaces like a 1963 motel room and the legendary “War Room,” honoring its role as a critical hub for the Civil Rights Movement. History stays alive—even as the site gets a fresh look.
