When you visit the airfield and its buildings, it feels like you're stepping back in time. I visited on a Saturday and there was only two other families there.

You can not only go into all the different offices in the hangars, but you can also climb the old control tower. The staff are helpful and friendly. It's free to visit but I would recommend leaving a donation. The site also has a nice little gift shop.

We were asked if we wanted to see the originally scheduled one but some people wanted to continue watching the one they started so I didn't say anything. However, this movie was full of filthy language, repeatedly satin the F word and GD word and there were young people in the theater. This was an R rated movie and it was way too Inappropriate for youngsters but their decision,to,show it with an underage audience has really made me lose a lot of respect for them. This was not ok. I got up and left because I was pretty disgusted. Please do better library staff. Thank you

I made a quick U-turn, but not before spotting this marker tucked along the roadside, a reminder that this campus holds layers of history beyond the university itself. It reads, "The Tuskegee Veterans Administration Hospital (VA), established in 1923, is significant as the first VA hospital in the nation to be administered by an all African American medical staff. "After WWI, African American veterans found it difficult to secure proper treatment in segregated hospitals, especially in the South. Despite violent threats, the second Tuskegee University president, Robert R. Moton; John Andrew Hospital director, John Kenney; African American media; and others convinced the Veterans Bureau to approve an African American staffed hospital. President Calvin Coolidge ordered it. "The Tuskegee VA Hospital held rank with the four leading Veterans Bureau hospitals. By 1930, there were 52 permanent buildings and 97 professional staff providing treatment in all branches of medicine/surgery and ancillary services such as clinical laboratories, roentgenology, physiotherapy, occupational therapy, dietetics and a medical library. "The Tuskegee VA continued to be staffed by African Americans until full integration at veteran hospitals. It was listed in the Alabama Register of Landmarks and Heritage on April 14, 1992." The marker was erected by the Alabama Historical Commission. It does not have a number. What the marker doesn't mention is just how intense the national debate was when the hospital opened. White supremacist groups, including the Ku Klux Klan, staged protests and attempted to block the hiring of Black physicians, arguing that Black doctors should not be allowed to treat white veterans. The Veterans Bureau initially caved to that pressure, appointing a white superintendent, but the backlash from African American newspapers, civic groups, and Tuskegee Institute leadership was so strong that the federal government reversed course. By 1924 the hospital was fully staffed by Black physicians, nurses, and administrators, making it a landmark in both medical and civil rights history. Today the facility is part of the Central Alabama Veterans Health Care System, and while the staff is fully integrated, the campus still reflects its origins. Several of the original 1920s buildings survive, and the hospital remains one of the most historically significant VA sites in the country, both for its medical contributions and for the civil rights struggle that shaped its founding. A surprising amount of history tucked into a quick U-turn. [Review 293 of 2026 - 275 in Alabama - 25482 overall]

The text on the marker is already rich, but knowing the broader story makes it even more compelling. Rosenwald first connected with Booker T. Washington in 1911 after reading Washington's autobiography, and that meeting set off a collaboration that would change education across the rural South. The Rosenwald school program required local communities to raise matching funds, which meant Black families often contributed land, labor, and cash to build schools that their states refused to adequately support. Research has shown that these schools significantly improved literacy, attendance, and long‑term educational outcomes for rural Black children, and by the early 1930s roughly one‑third of African American students in the South were attending a Rosenwald school. The marker reads, "Julius Rosenwald (1862-1932) was a Jewish multimillionaire merchant and one of the founders (1906) of Sears, Roebuck, and Company, then the largest department store in the United States. Rosenwald was a member of the Tuskegee University Board of Trustees (1911-1932) and collaborated with Booker T. Washington on the development of a program to provide public education for rural southern Blacks. Known as "Rosenwald Schools," this initiative existed from 1913 to 1948 and resulted in the construction of over 4,977 schools, 217 teachers' homes, and 163 shop buildings in 883 counties in 15 southern states. This fit well with Rosenwald's philosophy to "Give while you live." His benevolence resulted in the development of the Rosenwald Fund, which supported the creation of many black YMCAs, YWCAs, and grants that encouraged many of the 20th century's greatest black artists and innovators. Approximately half of his charitable gifts went to African American communities." The marker stands at the intersection of Moton Drive and Booker T. Washington Boulevard, just past the entrance gate, and is listed as marker number 4 in the series. It was erected in 2019 by the Jewish American Society for Historic Preservation, City of Tuskegee, and Tuskegee University. [Review 298 of 2026 - 279 in Alabama - 25486 overall]
