Tallassee, Alabama
Preserving the places, records, and stories that shaped Tallassee.
The Talisi Historical Preservation Society safeguards local history through the Tallassee Falls Museum, archival work, historic-site stewardship, and community education.
What THPS does
A small society with a long memory.
This one-page site is designed to give THPS a simple public front door: explain the mission, capture donations, direct researchers to the archive, promote museum visits, and surface preservation news without requiring a full website build.
1
Preserve
Support stabilization and upkeep of historic structures, exhibits, and artifacts.
2
Collect
Encourage families, former mill workers, and local organizations to share records, photos, and memories.
3
Teach
Connect students, researchers, residents, and visitors with Tallassee’s layered history.
Replace this block with a THPS meeting or museum photograph.
Use current meeting photos as proof that THPS is active, local, and community-led.
