I’m excited to talk about 1920s Mobile, and to be on the same bill with the illustrious Tom McGehee! I hope to see all of y’all there.
History comes alive on September 24!
Old Dauphin Way Association is excited to announce a special evening celebrating the rich history of Old Dauphin Way and Mobile with two of our area's most engaging historians.
Todd Duren, owner of Secret History Tours and Vintage Painting, will present "Jazz Age in Midtown." Step back into the Roaring Twenties and discover the music, culture, architecture, colorful personalities, and hidden stories that made Midtown Mobile one of the city's most fascinating neighborhoods.
Tom McGehee, Museum Director at Bellingrath Home and longtime local historian, will present "Lost Old Dauphin Way." Tom will explore the history and stories of Old Dauphin Way, the homes, landmarks, and streetscapes that have disappeared over time, offering a fascinating look at how our neighborhood has evolved.
Whether you've lived in Old Dauphin Way for decades or are just beginning to explore its history, this promises to be an entertaining evening filled with remarkable stories and a deeper appreciation for the neighborhood we call home.
