Eufaula Pilgrimage

Every April, spring blooms in Eufaula just in time for the annual Eufaula Pilgrimage. Set on a backdrop of colorful azaleas and dogwoods, Alabama's Oldest Tour of Homes draws you back in time to experience the settlement of Eufaula, confrontation with Yankee troops, and life when "cotton was king." Marvel at pristine Greek Revival, Victorian, and Italianate architecture as you meander through picturesque streets with homegrown entertainment and award-winning artists. While the homes open for tours vary each year, the warm hospitality does not. Southern belles draped in colorful hoop skirts guide you through the houses, sharing history and legend. At the close of the day, you will leave with your piece of charm and history to travel home with you.

The Pilgrimage Includes:
• Daily Tours of public & private residences.
• Candlelight Tours
• Garden and Church Tours
• Art Walk - Artists from the region gather in Downtown Eufaula
