Mildred Westervelt Warner Transportation Museum and its collection

Mildred Westervelt Warner Transportation Museum
Source

In May 2005, it was announced that the bathhouse would be converted into a transportation museum. This transformation was made possible after the Alabama Department of Transportation awarded the city a grant to convert the facility into a museum illustrating the history of transportation in Tuscaloosa. The financing for the project came from a $1.94 million federal award that required a 20 percent match by the city.

Opening of the Mildred Westervelt Warner Transportation Museum

On December 13, 2011, the renovated bath house was officially opened as the Mildred Westervelt Warner Transportation Museum. The museum's exhibits trace the city's history through the development of its transportation structures, providing visitors with a unique insight into Tuscaloosa's past.
