Come see our 100th Anniversary of Lakewood Estates display. The museum will have a booth selling gift shop items at the "Music in the Meadow" event May 3, 2025 at Lakewood Estates from 2P.M. - 8P.M.

The Bessemer Hall of History Museum along with the Birmingham African American Genealogy Group has created a photo display of unknown African Americans who lived in the West Jefferson County area. This collection of photographs was part of the Philip Graf, Sr. collection; he was owner of Graf’s Studio in Bessemer. We have been working on this collection for five years. Stop by and see if you can identify any of these people in this historic photo display. The exhibit will be on display thru the end of March.
