Whether you are exploring the bottom of the Gulf or simply enjoying the natural marine life, you will find an adventure!
Look no further than Alabama's abundant collection of museums to find the story of our great state and its people. From the birthplace of Helen Keller to birth of the Civil Rights Movement, discover struggles and accomplishments of our past. Visit the actual Civil Rights Movement sites in Birmingham, Montgomery, Selma and Tuskegee where events that galvanized the world also made a nation view its fellow men and women with equality and respect.
Alabama's grand homes also have many stories to tell in almost every corner of the state. You can find them in the Historic Sites/Homes section. Civil War heritage in Alabama is complex and diverse, with many historically significant sites and museums to visit.
