I picked up a walking tour map at the Huntsville Visitors Center and headed off! The sheer amount of antebellum houses is remarkable in and of itself. The Weeden House is the only one available for tours, as the others are privately owned, but is only open M-F for tours. And, after you finish looking at the houses you can walk to the Harrison Brother's store and museum, the Constitution Village (closed during the winter), and get some good food downtown.
2. Toomer's Corner

The heart of downtown Auburn and its university has been a special gathering place for college students, visitors and politicians over the years.

This is in the heart of Auburn and a landmark location if you visit the campus. No better place than Toomers after an AU win to watch the TP'ing of the iconic oaks. Great lemonade and a fair selection of Auburn merchandise.
