Exciting news for Wetumpka! The Smithsonian is coming to our community this holiday season.

The Alabama Humanities Alliance is bringing Americans, a Smithsonian traveling exhibition developed by the National Museum of the American Indian, to five Alabama communities as part of the nation’s America at 250 commemoration.

Americans explores the powerful and often complex ways Native Americans have shaped U.S. history, culture and identity. The exhibition also takes a closer look at familiar stories including Thanksgiving, Pocahontas, the Trail of Tears and the Battle of the Little Bighorn.

Wetumpka is proud to be one of just five Alabama stops on the statewide tour. The exhibit will be hosted by the Elmore County Museum from Nov. 16 through Dec. 18, 2026, with additional local programming highlighting the rich Native American history of our area.

We’re excited to welcome visitors from across the region to experience this nationally recognized exhibition and discover how the stories of Elmore County connect to the larger American story.

Stay tuned for more information about local programs and events surrounding the exhibition!
