Old Alabama Town is a collection of authentically restored 19th
and 20th century structures. Its magnificent setting stretches
along six blocks in the heart of historic downtown Montgomery, Alabama. Each building creates its own distinctive
image of living and working in Alabama's past. You will see
a cross-section of the way life was from the elegant townhouse lifestyle
to rural pioneer living.
Tannehill
Ironworks Historical State Park has
more than 1,500 acres in three counties set aside for hiking, camping and
outdoor recreation. A miniature railroad
chugs through the pines. From spring through fall, the blacksmith, miller and craftsmen
demonstrate their trades. Craft shops occupy restored pioneer cabins and artisans chat
with visitors from their front porches. Steeped in history, Tannehill feels timeless. The
cotton gin, pioneer farm and working gristmill preserve a long-gone way of life. Hiking
trails retrace historic roadways. Artifacts of Alabama's 19th century iron industry
displayed in the Iron and Steel Museum put in perspective the massive stone furnaces,
Tannehill's awe-inspiring centerpiece.
