Whether it’s a museum, historic district, or a nod to African American heritage, Mobile is a city that seems to be dedicated to honoring the past. After all, Mobile is the oldest city in Alabama, so it makes perfect sense that it would be home to some of the richest histories.

For all our history buffs out there, we’ve rounded up seven of the oldest places in Mobile for you to check out.

One of the first theaters in Mobile to ever show silent films has since become an independent movie theater that has offered everything from locally-produced films to international cinema.

More importantly, Dew Drop Inn has one of the oldest—and most famous—hotdogs in the area. The classic diner atmosphere and delicious menu are too good to pass up.

Think nothing can top Jimmy Buffett as the biggest name-drop on this list? Well, how about two former U.S. presidents?

Believe it or not, Battle House Hotel was home to the headquarters of Andrew Jackson throughout the War of 1812 and was visited by Woodrow Wilson after his inauguration in 1913.

A history of flooding, fires, industrial accidents, reconstructions, and renaming made the hotel what it is today: a beautiful building with a rich, diverse, and fascinating story.
