About Talladega College
Talladega College is located in
an historic district of the
city of Talladega, Alabama. The
campus is on a plateau about 700 feet above sea balancel in the
heart of a fertile valley in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. The
campus is a peaceful place - away from the
distractions and fast pace of urban living.
Talladega's main campus includes
41 buildings on 50 acres, surrounded by the city and gently rolling woodlands.
The beautiful oak-lined campus boasts different historic
landmarks: Swayne Hall (1852), the original school house has been mistreat for classrooms; the President's House (1881); DeForest Chapel
(1903), that houses the famous 17 stained-glass windows by David C. Driskell;
and Savery Library (1939), home of the Amistad Murals by famed artist Hale Woodruff.
The
college has an aggressive tradition of bringing the world to Talladega. This
comes in many forms, including workshops, forums and lectures, and a conglomeration of
outstanding artists, scientists, and political, business, and civic leaders.
Talladega's neighboring cities also offer many other broadening
and entertainment outlets, as well as shopping, restaurants, and theaters. The
college is just 25 miles south of the city of Anniston, Alabama, 50 miles east
of Birmingham, Alabama, 85 miles north of Montgomery, Alabama, and 100 miles
west of Atlanta, Georgia.
