On Sunday March 29, 2026, the Tuscaloosa Cameo Guild of Historic Tuscaloosa hosted its annual Easter Egg Hunt from 2 to 4 p.m. at the historic Battle-Friedman House and Gardens. Cameo Guild Easter Egg Hunt On Sunday March 29, 2026, the Tuscaloosa Cameo Guild of Historic Tuscaloosa hosted its annual Easter Egg Hunt from 2 to 4 p.m. at the historic Battle-Friedman House and Gardens. The family-friendly event, open to the public and designed for children ages 2 and older, featured a variety of activities including an Easter egg hunt, games, The Barnyard petting zoo, raffle prizes, and refreshments—all set on the grounds of one of downtown Tuscaloosa’s most significant historic homes. “This is such a special afternoon for our Guild,” said Cameo Director Anne Guthrie. “There’s something meaningful about watching children hunt Easter eggs on the grounds of a home that has stood here for generations. It’s joyful, it’s community-centered, and it reminds us why preserving these places matters.” Admission was $5 per person, with tickets available both in advance online and at the gate. Proceeds from the event benefited the Tuscaloosa Cameo Guild Scholarship Program and supported Historic Tuscaloosa preservation projects, including ongoing work at the Battle-Friedman Home. The Tuscaloosa Cameo Guild, the junior service organization of Historic Tuscaloosa and sponsored by the Century Club, continues to promote historic preservation through education, community service, and leadership development. This year’s event saw a tremendous turnout, reflecting the community’s continued enthusiasm for this cherished annual tradition.
