From the Archives: A look through some of our TCPS scrapbooks today revealed some wonderful wedding photos from 1986 of several weddings hosted at The Old Tavern! We love to look back in time to some of the more recent history of the Old Tavern, as a venue for young brides and grooms to start their lives out together! These photos feature decorations around the tavern, a ceremony being set up in the courtyard, and the cake and punch tables for the reception.... #TuscaloosaHistory #tuscaloosa #ttown #preservation #history #wedding #tuscaloosawedding #alabama #alabamaweddings #party #events #love #historichome
