- Description
- William M. Marr was a wealthy plantation owner in early Tuscaloosa. In March 1828, the University of Alabama Board of Trustees narrowed their search to several locations in Tuscaloosa to erect their school buildings. It was eventually decided that Marr’s plantation would be the site of the new campus. The will mentions the hiring out of Marr’s slaves.
