❤A Do Some Good Highlight

The beginning of Mobile’s history is at the History Museum of Mobile.

More than 118,000 artifacts, from prehistory to the present, are housed in the museum, which is responsible for preserving, safeguarding, and interpreting them.

According to the History Museum of Mobile, storytelling can influence and shape the future.

They believe that history should be interactive, involving people of all ages in insightful and entertaining ways.

They believe that the History Museum of Mobile should portray all the history of Mobile to recognize the city’s diversity.
