4 Star Places To Visit in Alabama, United States (50)

51. 4.5 Frank Lloyd Wright's Rosenbaum House (394 reviews)
    - Worth the huge budget to restore this FLW house
    Thursday: 10:00 AM - 4:00 PM Historic Sites
    
    
    The Rosenbaums ended up spending twice their budget to build this home, but that's nothing compared to what it cost to restore it after Mrs. Rosenbaum donated it to the city of Florence. That cost TEN times their budget. We who really enjoy touring FLW homes, though, appreciate the time and money spent. This is typical FLW. One thing we didn't know was that Wright coined the term "carport" for the cantilever roof that juts out from the home - perfect to park a car under. The guides were great; they gave us a history at the beginning and then mostly let us wander and ask questions. By the way, the home is located in a great neighborhood, and while we went to Florence just to see this home, while you're in the area we also recommend Trowbridge's 1918 ice cream shop!

    Hank Williams Museum in Montgomery, AL is a favorite destination for music fans. He is a treasure to the City of Montgomery and the State of Alabama, and we are paying tribute to the life and accomplishments of this magnificent legend whose name survives in a way that is unique in the history of Music. It is amazing after so many years that there are still things to be said...song to be sung. Year by year since Hank's death in 1953, the real impact his songs made on American Music becomes more evident. His lifelong fans continue, and new admirers are added with each generation. Hank Williams crowded a lot of living into twenty-nine years. It is safe to say, perhaps Hank Williams said all he had to say. We are proud to say that all of the artifacts are authentic. Exhibits include the 1952 Cadillac in which he died, 17 stage suits including Nudie , custom made boots, cowboy hats, tie collection, furniture, portraits, records, horse saddle, piano,awards, rare photos, family history and personal film footage. Experience the history of the first country music superstar and see how Hank Williams transformed country music and sowed the seeds of what was to become American Music, blues, rockabilly and even rock and roll.

Easy trails take you around a small lake (say hey to the alligators) and out to the beach (beautiful views and benches). Parking can be complicated, but it's not terrible.

The Conde-Charlotte Museum is now furnished with period antiques reflecting Mobile’s history under five flags: French, English, Spanish, Confederate and American. The variety and authenticity of the furnishings make the house a charming museum, with two confederate parlors, an American Federal dining room, a British Commandant’s room, a French sitting room and bedroom, and two American bedrooms.

    My wife and I arrived around 1:30pm, with the museums opening at 1pm. I have wanted to visit this museum for decades. I am sorry that I put it off for so long. It is a great museum. The ladies working at the front desk were wonderful. A joy to visit with, and quite helpful. A good start to our afternoon. We pretty much had the museum to ourselves. Any description of the exhibits would not do it justice. You have to experience it to get it. It seems like a hidden gem. Anniston should feel so lucky to have such a wonderful museum. And the cost to enter is inexpensive. We bought the AM&G Passport ticket, to gain entrance to both museums. I am so glad we visited, and I would visit again. See more..

    Came here in December in the evening. It was really crowded but it was Friday. Stores are laid out nicely and the area was very clean. I felt safe even at night. Some areas need to be better lit at night. Live music was playing which was a bonus. I enjoyed my evening shopping. See more..

99. 4.5 Fairhope Museum (165 reviews)
    - Depicts a Populist Reformer’s colony that survived
    Thursday: 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM Speciality Museums
    
    
    A pleasant, well displayed, small museum with enthusiastic docents that gives guests a good overview of the development of the area, what Single Tax Community is and of Jubilee - a phenomenon we certainly had not known about. The Jubilee display could use some modern photos as the event still happens. The video is long. Perhaps posting just how long it runs would be helpful. There is much information to read in the displays and the video allows those of us who are not speed readers to get the information. See more..
    
100. 4.5 Helen Keller Birthplace (164 reviews)
     - One of History’s Most Inspiring Stories
     Thursday: 8:30 AM - 4:00 PM Spent More than 3 hours Theatre & Performances
     
     
     Because of the play and movie “The Miracle Worker” most people know the story of Helen Keller. What a treat it was for me to visit Ivy Green, the birthplace of one of history’s most inspiring stories! The staff is wonderful. They offer a personalized tour of the downstairs (no extra charge) or you can walk through the house yourself. The house is furnished with 85% original items (including what the guide called a “fainting couch,” a place for ladies to collapse from the hot Alabama summer days). Keller’s story is so widely known that there wasn’t much for the guides to add; however, they do know their history well. They’re also familiar with anecdotal facts (such as the story behind the creation of Braille). The stop was well worth my time, and I would be more than happy to visit again. See more..
