Alabama opens replica of Independence Hall at American Village, honoring founder Tom Walker and the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence.
The grand opening of a replica of Independence Hall at American Village in Montevallo, Alabama, took place on September 25, 2025, with Governor Kay Ivey cutting the ribbon.
The structure, modeled after Philadelphia’s historic Independence Hall, was a longtime vision of the park’s late founder, Tom Walker, who passed away hours before the ceremony.
Walker, a dedicated advocate for American history education, had spent decades building the nonprofit site, which draws thousands of students annually for immersive learning experiences.
The hall, part of efforts to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, stands as both a tribute to U.S. founding principles and a lasting memorial to Walker’s legacy of civic engagement and leadership.
