You'll experience Southern hospitality at its finest when you
visit Eufaula, Alabama during its 44th Annual Pilgrimage
on April 3, 4 and 5, 2009.

Beautiful historic homes, built in the days when "cotton was king",
will be open to visitors during this nostalgic return to the Old South.
Grand ante-bellum and Victorian mansions built by 19th century
planters and merchants still house family heirlooms, the
precious symbols of a bygone era.

Most of the homes are private residences, open only during the
annual Pilgrimage.  As you stroll from Greek Revival cottages
to Italianate showplaces, your path will be lined with colorful
azaleas and dogwoods.  Beautifully landscaped gardens 
and manicured parkways will entice you through the 
Seth Lore-Irwinton Historic District. Southern belles
in hoops and bustles will grace the gardens and 
verandahs and greet you warmly as you pass.

The Pilgrimage Queen and Princesses are joined by other senior 
high school girls to form the Pilgrimage Queen's Court.

Hundreds of local volunteers guide visitors on tours through
the homes and churches during the pilgrimage.

Something for everyone can be found in Eufaula during the
spring tour of homes.  An open-air art exhibit, gardens, afternoon
teas, candlelight tours, musical entertainment and more
complement the Pilgrimage experience.  A prestigious antique show
will appeal to browsers and collectors.  Buildings dating from the
1800s await you in a revitalized downtown.  Many of them are
open to the public during the annual tour.

Future Pilgrimage Dates:
April 9, 10 and 11, 2010
April 1, 2, and 3, 2011
March 30, 31 and April 1, 2012
