Alabama

     Step through the picket fence and be transported back in time, to an 1819 village with four main buildings and seven outbuildings.  The buildings are filled with early 19th-century southern furnishings.  Costumed guides recreate life as it was in the early 1800's ......spinning wool, dipping candles, crafting furniture, printing on the old press, and tending to the garden.

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.
