The Rosa Parks Museum at Troy University will celebrate what would have been the civil rights icon’s 110th birthday on Feb. 4 with free admission to the museum from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., and a series of activities throughout the day.

The museum will host arts and crafts activities for children from 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.

More celebrations will kick off at 10 a.m., starting with mini birthday cupcakes for visitors while supplies last. Story time with historian Wanda Battle will be held in the museum’s auditorium and drummer Duron Hale will perform until 2 p.m. in the atrium.

The museum’s 1950s-era Montgomery City Bus will be onsite and available for viewing from noon to 3 p.m.

“We hope all will join us for this special birthday celebration as we honor the life and legacy of Mrs. Rosa Parks,” said Donna Beisel, the museum’s Director of Operations, in an announcement. “Mrs. Parks is, of course, most notably remembered for the stance she took aboard a Montgomery city bus, her arrest and the subsequent bus boycott, but she was an activist throughout her lifetime. As we celebrate what would be her 110th birthday, we want to remember all of her contributions to the fight for justice and civil rights.”

The Rosa Parks birthday celebration program is made possible through a grant from the Alabama Humanities Alliance.

Located on Troy University’s Montgomery campus on the spot of Rosa Parks’ historic 1955 arrest, the Rosa Parks Museum opened on Dec. 1, 2000, with the mission of interpreting the story and lasting legacy of Mrs. Parks and the Montgomery Bus Boycott. The museum was constructed on the site of the former Empire Theater.
