Contractors unearthed historical artifacts while working on Birmingham, Ala.'s $7 million Old Woodward reconstruction project, which when finished, will replace the city's underground infrastructure and enhance the above-ground streetscape.
The artifacts range in age from about 76 years old to about 128 years old.
According to Hometown Life, items found include:
The line ran directly up the middle of Old Woodward (previously called Saginaw for the earlier Saginaw Trail) in Birmingham. When the line was first constructed, Old Woodward was a dirt street. These were removed when the road was paved in the late 1920s and early 1930s, reported Hometown Life.
The artifacts will be displayed at the Birmingham Museum in downtown Birmingham.
