Cavalry Hill Park

A Touch of History

Cavalry Hill Park gets its name from a compelling piece of American history - the 10th Cavalry Buffalo Soldiers who camped here after fighting in the Spanish-American War. These African American troops, under the command of the legendary "Black Jack" Pershing, initially recovered from war wounds and illnesses at Huntsville's Monte Sano.

Following tensions between black and white soldiers, the Buffalo Soldiers were relocated to what became known as 10th Cavalry Hill - the very ground this park now occupies. Walking through the park today, you're treading on land that silently holds this significant chapter of both local Huntsville and broader American history.
