This pass includes a one-hour guided tour. The Condé-Charlotte Museum is Mobile's oldest historic home museum, where visitors can explore how citizens lived throughout the last 300 years during each country’s reign over the bay area. The variety and authenticity of the antique furnishings in the museum house reflect Mobile’s history under five flags: French, English, Spanish, American and Confederate. In 1850 Jonathan Kirkbride and his wife, Elizabeth, renovated what is now known as the Condé-Charlotte Museum, the site of Mobile’s first courthouse and jail built 30 years earlier.
