Definitely a must see! The detail on these miniature structures is amazing. Take your time strolling through the Grotto, take lots of pictures and marvel at the talent, creativity and work that was involved in creating these replicas.

Opening in 1975 the Museum has become a point of pride for the community whose history its walls contain. The Museum has displays covering many eras and interest. From Native American presentations to the Main Street displays which focus on Cullman's German heritage and early history. There are many interactive features in the Museum including the popular Arrowhead Rubbing table. Tour groups are welcome and "step-on" tours can be arranged for a first hand experience of the community.

This small museum displays interesting artifacts that are all directly connected to people, events, and wildlife of the local area. It is well worth the $5 admission. It is a nice, clean building.

This was the longest covered bridge I have seen at 270 feet long. It was worth the drive. Also, an old (nonworking) grist mill on site.

I only gave them 5 stars because I couldn't give it 6!!! What else can you say. Great entertainment (band on a Friday night) and great brews. I HIGHLY recommend the blood orange and the Duck River Dunker and the big Bridge IPA. Well, heck, everything I tried was good. The owners are fantastic and the back story on the Richters was so interesting. Highly recommend this place!!!!

We stop by every chance we get. They have the best smoked meat. Please try the chicken it melts in your mouth. No faux smoke flavors either. Perfectly cooked juicy meats. Wow I’m hungry writing this. Also a wine sampler. I love their blackberry wine also. You’ve got to go in a see what they’ve got. It’s amazing.
