Alabama Constitution Village Foundation is the community connection for the EarlyWorks museum complex with goals of nurturing interest in history, expanding the museum’s influence in the area, involving citizens in the growth of the complex and raising necessary funding.

The ACV Foundation produces signature events for EarlyWorks in the
community. These events are The Whistle Stop Festival, Santa’s Village and the Great American Series which has featured Thomas Jefferson, Ben Franklin, Teddy Roosevelt, George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Franklin Roosevelt and James Madison.

This annual event is “deerly” beloved by both children and adults. With glimmering lights, softly falling snowflakes, Mr. and Mrs. Claus and tons of ribbons and bows, Santa’s Village has become a true gift to the community.

A foot-stompin', pig-chompin' two-day festival on the grounds of the Huntsville Depot. Live entertainment, children's play zone, and professional and amateur BBQ cooking competitions. Proceeds support the Earlyworks Museum Complex educational programs.

History is filled with role models who, through their actions in times of crisis and by specific circumstances, offer courage, inspiration and guidance to others. The Great American Series strives to bring these individuals back to life. Featured great Americans include Thomas Jefferson, Ben Franklin, Teddy Roosevelt, George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Franklin Roosevelt, and James Madison.
