City of Leeds 138th Birthday Celebration

Leeds Historical Society Invites Public to Celebrate 138th Birthday of the City of Leeds

The Leeds Historical Society is pleased to invite the community to a special celebration marking the 138th anniversary of the incorporation of the City of Leeds, which officially became a town on April 27, 1887.

The event will take place on Sunday, April 27, 2025, from 2:00 to 4:00 PM at the Leeds Historical Society Museum, located at the J.W. Bass House, 1129 Montevallo Road, Leeds, AL 35094.

This family-friendly celebration will honor the city’s rich heritage and the generations of citizens who have shaped its story. Guests will enjoy:

• Guided tours of the Bass House Museum
• Special displays highlighting Leeds history
• A brief program recognizing community partners and supporters
• Light refreshments on the grounds

The celebration also provides an opportunity to thank the City of Leeds for their recent support in upgrading the museum’s infrastructure, including the replacement of the HVAC system — a key improvement in preserving the city’s treasured history.

“We’re proud to celebrate Leeds’ past while continuing to preserve its legacy for future generations,” said Randy Ray, President of the Leeds Historical Society. “This is a great chance for residents and visitors alike to connect with the stories that make Leeds a unique and vibrant place.”

The Leeds Historical Society encourages everyone to stop by, bring a friend, and help honor 138 years of community, progress, and pride.
