The Talladega County Courthouse is located in the county seat of Talladega. Built in 1836, it is the oldest courthouse in continuous use in Alabama. It was expanded in 1882 and 1902 and partially rebuilt after a fire in 1926. The architect was Charles H McCauley and the contractor was M C Munroe. The building was further renovated in 1977. The architect was Wiatt, Watson and Cole and the contractor was E G Harris Jr.

Heritage Hall provides education in and enjoyment of the Arts to the greater Talladega community and facilitate the celebration and understanding of our rich history. Architecture buffs will appreciate the soaring 18 foot ceilings and classic interior columns of the Beaux Arts Classic style building, as well as the rare freestanding staircase leading down to the intimate, less formal lower galleries.

Heritage Hall mounts a number of major shows each year in the Main Galleries. Exhibitions focus on individual local and regional artists, group shows with relevant themes, works from Arts Enrichment programs in schools, as well as shows focused on local and county history, self-taught artists working with multiple media, pottery and folk artists. “Living Exhibits”, featuring artists creative exhibits “live” at the museum, are a recent addition.

The Battle of Talladega was fought between the Tennessee Militia and the Red Stick Creek Indians during the Creek War. Jackson's victory at Talladega was significant in two respects. The rescue of Creeks trapped at Fort Leslie further strengthened the alliance between the Creek Nation and the United States in the war against the Red Stick faction. Also, the combined victories at Tallushatchee and Talladega, which left more than 1,000 warriors dead, wounded, or missing, seriously depleted the number of Red Stick warriors available for the later Battle of Horseshoe Bend, which effectively sealed the fate of the Creek Nation in Alabama.

The Davey Allison Memorial-Walk of Fame is a beautiful landscaped park that covers one full city block downtown Talladega, Alabama. Dedicated during the summer of 1994, the memorial is open 365 days a year with free admission.

The "Rainwater House" was given to C.H. Butler as a wedding gift on January 26, 1894 by his parents, George and Marion Butler, a couple well-to-do in business in Childersburg. The elder Butlers had bought the land from Minor and Sara Cliett in 1864. Research makes in unclear when the house was placed on the land. Impressions of several people interviewed have indicated that the house could be older than 1894, perhaps the 70's. On January 27,1993 (exactly ninety-nine years and one day after the wedding gift) the City of Childersburg bought the house from Mrs. Rainwater, through her power of attorney and granddaughter, Jan Cleveland Howard.

The Alabama Institute for Deaf and Blind (AIDB) is the world’s most comprehensive education, rehabilitation, and service program serving individuals of all ages who are deaf, blind, deafblind, and multidisabled. Founded in 1858 by a young medical doctor who wanted to educate his deaf brother, AIDB now serves more than 36,000 infants, toddlers, children, adults, and seniors with hearing and vision loss throughout Alabama each year.

The museum was opened in 1982 and is named for its founder, Mrs. Isabel Anderson Comer, who conceived the idea in 1977. After several years of meetings, planning, and negotiations, the museum opened its doors in 1982. Prior to becoming a museum, the building was a public library. The dark area on the floor in the foyer shows the location of the check-out desk.

It was Mrs. Comer's inspiration and untiring efforts, along with help from many other Sylacaugans, that brought the metamorphosis from a library to a museum.

Located in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains, Desoto Caverns is touted as "Alabama's Big Cave". In addition to the caves, the park offers various other attractions, including a three-quarter acre maze known as the Lost Trail Maze, panning for gemstones, a climbing wall, and amusement park style rides. While on the caverns tour, visitors can view a sound, light, and water show that changes with the holidays and seasons.

Before being commercialized as DeSoto Caverns, the cave was well known locally as Kymulga Cave. There is evidence that the cave was formerly used by Native Americans, and it was mined during the Civil War.

Oak Hill Cemetery was established in 1831. Walking around the cemetery and reading the headstones can be as informative as reading a history book. People born in the 1700s, unknown soldiers from the Confederate Army, and family plots dot the landscape of this historic cemetery.

Right inside the entrance to Oak Hill is a monument that was erected by the Daughters of the American Revolution. The remains of 19 soldiers killed in 1813 at the Battle of Talladega during the Creek War were re-buried here after their burial site was sold. In March 2016, the Alabama Charter Chapter of the Daughters of 1812 placed a new marker in honor of the men killed directly in front of the older monument.

During the April in Talladega "Ghosts of Talladega" Cemetery Tour, quests will will hear stories of Talladega's past citizens by characters telling of their lives and history.

Our Mission is to establish a community center for the area and have educational outreach programs for the residents. To establish and maintain an art gallery of work by local artists. To establish a museum of artifacts from the area.

Located at the corner of Battle and Spring Street, the nearly 50-year-old monument is one of the more recognizable structures in the city. Built in 1968, the monument was commissioned by Mayor J.L. Hardwick and designed by architect Philip W. Kessler. The Big Spring itself was initially at a major crossroads for the indigenous people of Talladega, and is near the site of the November 1813 battle of Fort Lashley.
