About
Discover the winding history of one of the oldest homes in Alabama. The variety and authenticity of antiques that furnish the Conde-Charlotte Museum reflect the Port City's history under five flags: French, English, Spanish, Confederate, and American. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the Condé-Charlotte Museum is a Gateway to Mobile’s History. Built in 1822 as Mobile's first jail, Jonathan and Elizabeth Kirkbride renovated it in 1850 to be their family home. Cell doors and a portion of a jail floor can be seen in the house today. Today the Condé-Charlotte Museum is owned, preserved, and operated by The National Society of The Colonial Dames of America in the State of Alabama. Open Thursday - Saturday, 11 a.m. - 3:30 p.m. Adults: $10 Children 6 - 12: $5 Children 5 and younger: Free Group Rates Available
