We enjoyed this beautiful property that the owners so graciously share for free! The waterfalls and the clear water in the streams make us Coloradans jealous! Bring a picnic and there are several places to stop at tables and enjoy your lunch! They have even put outhouses along the trails! Better yet if you live in the area, become a volunteer and help them keep this place going!!!

You are greeted when you walk in and asked to sign in. Ladies are very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about their job. You get a pleasant account of Helen Keller's life and accomplishments. She was an interesting lady who overcame many obstacles. Facilities are on site in case you need a restroom and they are clean and well maintained. This is my second time here and it was well worth the repeat trip. I suggest parking across the street on in the rear of the buildings.

Museum honoring Alabama natives inducted into the Music Hall of Fame.

This museum was nicely laid out and very kid friendly. The woman working the front desk was very friendly and helpful. They had a scavenger hunt for the kids to do. There was a good variety of musicians and items on display. I think we were there maybe 2 hours doing the scavenger hunt and browsing the gift shop. I highly recommend.

Our recent visit to the original birthplace and home of Helen Keller was a reminder of the wonderful story of her life—a life well-lived in helping others. The guide/hostess, Jennifer Elom(?), told the story in an enthusiastic and through manner—very well done. It is a must stop.

We stopped here to see the unique Cold Water Falls and circumambulate the park trail to see its statues and read the signboards. Just a few blocks away is the Railroad Depot Museum with its turntable and engine house. 2 blocks further is the beautiful 1889 Colbert Co. Courthouse and 1/2 mile further is Helen Keller's Birthplace with her garden bust, statue with Anne Sullivan and the Lion's Exhibit with a Helen Keller video presentation. This small town is also filled with 19th C architecture.

What a place. The love between people and their beloved pets is on display here. Beautiful to know that all these dogs remain forever together and have a place where their loved ones can return. Make the drive and enjoy this place for what it is- a loving tribute.

Wow! Being from Myrtle Beach, SC this was a unique experience. The atmosphere of eating under the rock overhang of a canyon was great. The burgers were very good. They also have entertainment. My wife and I are talking about returning and staying in one of the cabins. The restaurant is in the country, but worth the drive.
