Just 12 miles out of town, you'll find Wetumpka, AL and Fort
Toulouse/Jackson Park, 2521 W Fort Tollouse Rd, 334-567-3002.
A lot of history took place here as Hernando de Soto visited
in 1540, the French built Fort Toulouse in 1717, and General
Andrew Jackson built Fort Jackson here in 1814. On the grounds
you'll find the William Bartram Arboretum, a museum, a Native
American mound, plus living history re enactments are scheduled
on a regular basis. Like it here so much you'd like to stay?
No problem, because the park also has campgrounds and a boat
launch.
Also nearby is Tuskegee, AL and the George Washington Carver
Museum, and the Tuskegee Institute Visitor Orientation Center
where you can learn about this remarkable scientist's life. Touring
these facilities will give you a chance to see some of his actual
scientific tools, exhibits of his original art work, and samples
of products he developed.
Only 88 miles away you'll find Birmingham,
AL and the Alabama Sports Hall of Fame, Birmingham Botanical
Gardens, the Civil Rights Institute, the Birmingham Museum of
Art, antebellum Arlington, and the Red Mountain Museum. Now if
you always dreamed of being an astronaut, or like Ralph Kramden
just wanted to send somebody to the moon, you may want to make
the 188-mile drive down to Huntsville,
AL and the NASA-Marshall Space Flight Center.
