The Old Tavern was once a stagecoach stop and home to Governor John Gayle. Today it is home to the Tuscaloosa County Preservation Society. The Tavern was built in 1827 and is one of the few remaining 19th century inns in the state of Alabama. It provides visitors a glimpse of early Tuscaloosa commercial architecture. During its operation as a hostelry, it served as a temporary home and meeting place for legislators, Confederate soldiers, and countless people traveling to or through the city. The Tavern is located at 500 28th Avenue.
