The Huntsville Veterans Memorial, dedicated on Veterans Day, 11.11.11, honors and pays tribute to all veterans for their "Courage", "Sacrifice", and "Duty". The Memorial has become a hallowed place that inspires visitors to reflect, remember and honor veterans. It provides an educational venue to teach visitors about our military past, the cost of war, and sacrifices made to ensure our freedom.

This is a very peaceful, serene, and clean memorial dedicated to all branches of the US Armed Services. The main memorial consists of individual monuments to the great wars from WW1 through the Gulf Wars, with historic timelines throughout, while the pathways behind consist of bricks and benches dedicated to individual soldiers, platoons, and groups who served. The American flag can be seen for miles as you enter Huntsville, and the accompanying flags are always stately flown alongside just a tad lower. What a great place to spend a lunch hour, or a great stop along the way to downtown Huntsville's other tourist attractions!

The birthplace of Helen Keller, this site provides tours and information and includes the historic pump that provided the "miracle" breakthrough.

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.

If you've ever toured a FLW house, you know they can be expensive. This one is not. $10 admission, but only $5 for seniors or those with disabilities. Between the displays in the visitor center and the house tour, we were there about 1hr 15min. I'd been to other houses, but this was a first for me husband and he learned quite a lot about Frank Lloyd Wright's design philosophy. Worth the time and the minimal investment.

The Pioneer Village was wonderful! The view is amazing. It's so peaceful and serene. There are folks in period dress in the cabins performing jobs such as cooking or blacksmithing who take time to show you what they are doing and explain the process. They know about the cabins themselves as well. Friendly and patient with questions. Plus the staff in the Gift Shop are obliging and go out of their way to make things pretty for gift giving. The actual Burritt Mansion was a little disappointing. A lot of the furnishings have been removed except for a parlor you cannot enter and the Dining Room. Most of the dishes are on display though. You certainly can't beat the price though.

If you are a Civil War history buff, or just enjoy the mid to late 19th Century then you need to make a stop here. There is free parking and the admission is reasonably cheap. They have a small gift shop with some nice items at the end of the tour. The docent was simply amazing! She kept the tour interesting as well as educational. No photography allowed inside.

The bridge sits in a beautiful area. The creek was running swiftly due to recent rains. The teenagers with us enjoyed hiking at the waters edge.

"Where so much music was born"! From Aretha, to The Allman Brothers, and many more in between: Etta James, Wilson Pickett, Bobbie Gentry, and so many more worked in this recording studio. The tour is great-our guide played snippets of music during the tour, and explained the stories behind the songs. See some of the original instruments used during many recordings you will surely recognize ! Say Hi to Linda Hall, still working hard in the office!!
