The University of Alabama in Huntsville History Department, in conjunction with M. Louis Salmon Library Archives & Special Collections, plans to erect a two-sided historical monument on campus to commemorate those who resided and worked on the land which UAH now stands. The marker will provide a brief history of the Avalon Plantation house, which stood in between Roberts Hall and the Nursing School, and the Jones-Perkins Family Cemetery, which can be seen behind Morton Hall and next to Union Grove Gallery.
